How early can doplar pick up heartbeat?

Hey there teagz! Thanks for the quick reply. I've been googling it and found that from 9 weeks it's possible...so I'll just have to wait! I'M SO IMPATIENT!!!

haha that's ok! And don't worry I know exactly how you feel!! 2 weeks will be gone before you know it though!

I'm not sure what the earliest is hon but don't be too shocked if they can't find it as that is quite common. I had a fall at 20 weeks and went straight to my OB for a checkup. The midwife used a doppler but told me that she wouldn't be suprised if they couldn't find the heartbeat on it even at 20 weeks. We did hear it thumping away immediately which was a huge relief.

Just try not to worry if they can't find it. The position of your placenta has a lot to do with it too and you won't know where your placenta is positioned until one of your major scans (12 or 20 weeks).

I hope you do get to hear that beautiful galloping sound though. Good luck!
