Babies Heartbeat

I heard mine at 10 weeks (u/s) and picked it up with the doppler at 14 weeks (didnt have one prior to that). My sister had an u/s at 7w4d with her 2nd and saw the heartbeat.

With DS we didnt hear the heartbeat until about 12 weeks. We had a scan at 5 weeks 4 days and was early.

I had a viability scan at 6 weeks and 1 day (according to my lmp) and saw a flicker of a heartbeat. Embyro was measuring smaller though than dates suggested and heartbeat was only 71bpm which was deemed a little low. But it was early.
Heard heartbeat on the ultrasound at 8 weeks 1 day. 167bpm. Was very exciting!
I hired a doppler which gives the heartrate following the NT scan I had at 12 weeks and tried it out after I reached 13 weeks - was concerned it would be too early but I found the heartbeat and it was such a relief in the weeks leading up to the 19 week scan when the worry would set in. I'd read about the disturbance that the doppler causes the bub, so I've used it as little as possible. I still haven't sent the doppler back, JIC, and it was again a relief to have it there as I did get worried a couple of times when I'd had lots of fluttery movement and then nothing for what seemed a couple of days.

i heard my bubs heartbeat @ my 12 week scan on the ultrasound. It was amazing! didnt hear it with a doppler till i was about 17 weeks.

We heard our bub's heartbeat at 5wks6days because we went in to see our doctor as we'd had some spotting and needed reassurance. Thankfully, all was fine and there was a little heart flickering away in there!
It's the most amazing thing in the world to see that little flicker on the screen and know something's going on in there, especially as you can't feel anything happening ( except the overwhelming, all day morning sickness.... lol )
