   But I thought you were having twins? 
  
  ETA: Please don’t give out false medical advice like this. You cannot hear the baby this early on a stethoscope. We have had a lot of losses here lately and encouraging people to find a heartbeat this way will only create panic and worry. 
  
  At 11 weeks, some women won’t even be able to find a heartbeat on a Doppler. OP you picked up your own heartbeat. Congrats, you are alive.
  
  Also, we are still curious to know if you peed on “one” FRER multiple times and have you seen your OB to confirm pregnancy?

  Never mind. I saw you posted in group one and have been seen in the ER at 9 weeks and not only did you have a negative blood test, but there was nothing on the US. 
  
  You are not pregnant. You heard your own heartbeat. 
  
  June ladies: do not take advice from OP

  Surely no one actually WOULD take this seriously...?

  Amanda, if you are an actual person, I hope you find help and healing for your mental health. I also find it highly offensive that you are posting things like this and about your 9 wk check up US and bloodwork being negative but raving that you are now 11 weeks pregnant. We have sadly had multiple losses within our group and others who are having enough anxiety without your nonsense. 
  I genuinely hope you get well mentally. That being said, you should kindly back off this board until you get yourself situated. 
  
  Unfortunately even if she gets blocked I have a feeling she will come back under another name.

  Yesterday at 11 weeks pregnant, I used a stethoscope to try & hear the baby's heartbeat. I was able to for about 3 seconds! Then the baby moved & I could no longer hear the heartbeat. I suggest getting a stethoscope as it is such a comfort to hear that precious sound!
  
  Sincerely, 
  Amanda

  QFP. And it’s definitely not possible to hear baby’s heartbeat with a stethoscope anytime in first trimester. In fact it’s even hard at full term. If it were that easy, the doctor would use that instead of a Doppler.
