About 8-10 weeks for both. If you rent a hospital grade doppler, you’d hear the heartbeat sooner than if you just went to a store and bought one. Sometimes though, it’s harder to find the heartbeat than other times, so don’t freak out if you can’t find it early on.
you can hear it before but 12 weeks would be the best time
Normally around 12 weeks on doppler, some sooner. My last baby i heard it at 10w3d and this baby at 11 weeks.
On ultrasound you can usually see it by 6 weeks. (some later)
The could hear my daughter’s heartbeat at 9 weeks so i would say around that give or take a week or two. i’m not sure about seeing the heartbeat, think the first time i saw was around 6 weeks.
It all depends really. I first saw my baby’s heartbeat on ultrasound at 9 weeks but you can see it as early as 6 weeks. I heard the heartbeat with the doppler at 10 weeks.
