    That's similar to me. I was doing it myself and heard DS at 10 1/2 weeks, DD at 9.5 weeks, and this bub at 11 weeks. Both DD and this bub have anterior placenta's, but it seems they don't get in the way of finding the heartbeat luckily.

    my IM wouldnt use it before 14 weeks as she found that there was too a big a chance of missing the heartbeat and causing undue stress.
