my earliest was 12 wks. my second baby. the midwife i saw was so nice. my next baby i asked to hear the heartbeat but that midwife said it was too early and didn't even try.
Hey Amy, I know this thread's a bit old now. Did you end up getting a doppler?
I got one around 14 weeks and for me, it's the best thing I ever bought! It's a Hi-bebe and I could find the hb quite easily at 14 weeks (and I have lots of belly fat!!) right down low at the pubic bone. There were a couple of times I couldn't find it early on but that was just due to inexperience. Within about a week, I could get it every time without fail and now can distinguish baby movement noises and everything! I really needed the reassurance because I had a subchorionic haemorrhage, then a UTI, then heart palpitations, then gastro. It was just so nice to be able to check that baby was ok, despite everything else. Now I really just use it occasionally, for fun
I've been finding mine since 11weeks with a hospital doppler ( don't know if they are different from the ones you rent) Its quite difficult to find, sometimes takes me 10mins and I am used to using them at work, but I love hearing it!!!
