When did you find a heartbeat on your fetal Doppler?

Question

I'm 8w1d, and I've purchased a fetal Doppler that says it can pick up a heartbeat as early as 9 weeks... I'm so eager! Anybody find it earlier/later than 9 weeks?

Answer

11 weeks

Answer

My doc found it at 10w but I didn't have a home doppler :) some people say to wait because if you don't find a HB you'll freak out

Answer

9w2d on my home Doppler. It took a lot of searching. I can now regularly hear it and find it daily at 14w

Answer

I found it around 8 weeks. Watch some YouTube videos... They really helped me pin point the location. Don't be stressed out if you can't find it though. With my first baby, I was only able to find it at 11 weeks.

Answer

My doctor couldn't find one until 11 weeks but we had seen a healthy heartbeat via ultrasound so we knew she was there !! It's common not to be able to find one that early but it surley doesn't mean that it isn't there. Keep trying and just wait a little longer :)

Answer

You need to be closer to 10-12 weeks. Before then the baby is tucked behind your pelvic bone and hard to find.

Answer

But until around 12-13 weeks. I had a stubborn child

Answer

10 weeks and I'm plus size so everyone on here told me there was "no way" 🙄

Answer

With my at home doppler I found it around 9-10 weeks. But that's just when I purchased it. Baby was sooooo much lower than I expected. Like down at my pubic hair line, right near my pubic bone. Good luck!
