My ex bought me one when I was pregnant, and it said it could be hard to hear the heartbeat if you're under five months. The one he bought was also a really cheap one though, so I guess it depends on the kind/brand. Still though..read the directions. Read the directions.

In fact my midwife checked for a heart beat and 9 weeks and three days and said do not be dissapointed if I did not hear it because it was very uncommon to hear it that early. But I did hear it and like I said she was surprised and said that was very uncommon. I think you have a better chance at hearing the baby at 15 weeks then compared to 8 weeks. Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy! Normally using at home fetal dopplers it is hard to hear the heartbeat till the baby is much bigger then 8 weeks.

Add: This is for first pregnancies. After a full term pregnancy, the uterus has stretched and enlarges quicker in following pregnancies, so the heart beat could be heard earlier in 2nd/3rd etc pregnancies. No.

I bought a REALLY nice one for $100 and still wasn't able to hear my babys until 13 weeks. You can look for it but don't freak out if you can't hear it. Chances are it may take a month or so to hear it. If you bought it from Walmart or babys-r-us those aren't supposed to be used till the third trimester. Good luck. No you are too early.

My previous pregnancy ended in miscarriage as well. It is not unusual to not be able to hear the baby's heartbeat on your home doppler at this point. My doctor recommended that I NOT use a home doppler until at least the 2nd trimester because of the difficulty of hearing the heartbeat that early. I would try not to worry...easier said than done I know. I would speak with your health care provider regarding your concerns. Best of luck. I understand you being nervous.
