Heartbeat???

[JDsMum]

I am going for a Dr's appt tomorrow and I will be 7w 2 days along - when can you hear the heartbeat on a doppler???

I wont be getting a dating scan and I would love to hear something tomorrow.....but will it be too early???

I cant remember when we first heard with our DS.....

I think it's usually at about week 10 that you can hear the heartbeat so don't be disappointed if your Dr doesn't check for it just yet.

My doctor tried to hear the heartbeat on a doppler at 15 weeks & 5 days and couldn't find it, she said not to worry about it because sometimes they can't get it until 17 weeks. I called her a few days later and asked for a scan because I was worried she couldn't find a heartbeat. She sent me for one, there was my bouncing little bubba with a excellent heartbeat. The ultrasound woman said she probably can't find it because my bubba was very active and kept moving. So it can be a while before they find it, and sometimes the baby doesn't always want to be found .

i didnt hear the heartbeat at 10 weeks with either pregnancy!

my midwife said that she wasn't going to even try to hear a heartbeat before 14 weeks. i heard it at 16 weeks using the doppler.

JDsMum - will you have a 12 week scan? at least you'll get to see if, even if you dont hear it.

I had my first appt with obgyn when I was 9 wks, she did a scan and I could see the heartbeat, and every scan after that we could see it and we were told what it was but we didn't actually hear it until our 19wk scan.

Thanks for all your help ladies - I thought it would be too early but I thoght I'd ask just to make sure......

Guess I'll have to wait until my 12 week scan....hopefully I get the referral today so I can book it and have a date to look forward too!!!

Thanks again..
