Babies Heartbeat

[Bub2Be]

Hello

I have read a few different sites, and am getting different information reharding when you can hear the heartbeat on the ultrasounds, from your experiences how far along were you when you heard your babies heartbeat for the first time.

Hi Bub2be

We saw (but didn't hear) bub's heartbeat on and ultrasound scan at 7.5 weeks, but many people see it after 6 weeks. We chose to wait until 7 because sometimes it doesn't show till then and we didn't want to cause ourselves unnecessary worry.

I vaguely remember reading about doc hearing the heartbeat with a stethoscope and that doesn't happen until a lot later. Don't quote me on that though

Hi bub2b,

I held off on any scans till the NT scan @ 12 weeks thsi time around, but we did hear the heartbeat with the obs doppler at 11 weeks...... you can usually hear it at around the 12 week mark, but can see it earlier if you opt for an early scan.

I heard mine with a doppler at about 11 weeks but have seen one u/s at 8 weeks.

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.
