everyone’s different. i was almost 16 weeks, my friend was 13. but when you do hear it, its the greatest sound ever.

Usually it’s around 12 weeks before they can hear the heartbeat on the doppler.

I heard mine at 15 wks. Some hear it sooner but at my 11 wk checkup my doctor even said he’s not going to try because we won’t be able to hear it yet. Every doctor’s different.

Perfectly normal not to hear the baby’s heart beat with the doppler before 12 weeks. We didn’t hear our little guy’s heart beat with the doppler until I was about 15 weeks. You should be able to hear it next time.

at the ultrasound they will pick up the heartbeat, my midwife assured me that when she tried before i had my scan that it doesnt always pick up, so dont fret until your wife has the scan that is when you will see and hear that little heart! congratulations to you and your wife

The doppler really shouldn’t be used until the 2nd trimester. My OB even had a hard time hearing my son’s at 15 weeks.

my dr said it is borderline at 11wks. I heard mine at 12wks. you can see it on ultrasound before then.

with my first child it was around 12 or 13 weeks i heard her heartbeat. I’m pregnant with my 2nd i had a appointment last month and they couldn’t hear any thing, they told me it was nothing to be worried about. the baby could have been moving around too much or its just too soon to hear it on the Doppler. if u have an u/s coming up soon they can hear the heart beat on there as well. congrats on the pregnancy
