Yes it is sometimes but not always. My friend heard her babys at 6 weeks, but they couldnt hear my babys at 10 weeks.
yes.. it can evn be detected by ultrasound by 5th wk ..
Doubtful, not usually till about 10-12 weeks. It would be detectable on an ultrasound though.
No, I got 1at 9 weeks, it was very sad and disapointing!! Couldn’t here it till 13weeks! Sometimes they can but not often!
No, the earliest you can really distinguish the heart beat with an amplified doppler is at 12 weeks. Even then it may not be guaranteed. For those with "extra padding" it can take a little longer to hear the baby clearly since the doppler is placed right over the pubic bone where most people carry and extra layer of fat (foopa). If you’re using a generic store bought doppler you wont really be able to hear anything until about 16-18 weeks.
If you really want to hear the heartbeat this early a trans-vaginal ultrasound will pick it up loud and clear
sure can, i heard my baby’s heart beat at 7 weeks. Maybe it does have something to do with your body type if you’re small and don’t have much fat around your belly you can hear it, if you’re a little bigger then maybe a few weeks later.
I couldn’t pick up anything on mine until 14 weeks. Good luck
It can be but don’t be alarmed if they don’t detect it. I was 17 or 18 weeks before the doctor was able to detect the heartbeat with the doppler instrument. I had an ultrasound at 14 weeks to confirm there was a heartbeat.
The answer is yes….the baby’s heart is formed and beating pretty early on in its development. By 10 weeks the tiny feet and toes are perfectly formed….really cool stuff. You might or might not find the baby’s heartbeat at 9 weeks depending on where its positioned in your uterus. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist….just that it’s hard to find since the baby is so tiny. My doctor didn’t set the first appt until I was at 10 weeks. He said most were able to be found by then.
