Fetal heart beat by doppler - how many weeks?

[~ Mylitta ~]

I heard my little one at 9 1/2 weeks. but I was doing it myself and had time to just sit back and feel around, so took a while, but was deff. a bubs hb i heard =)

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.

I had one at GP the other day and clearly heard two at 12 weeks
