heartbeat at first appointment?

Question

does anyone know if the midwife listens for a heartbeat during the first appointment (I will be 9 weeks)? or do I have to wait for the 12 week scan for that? thanks!

Answer

Same for me, you could see the heart at the 12 week scan but I didn’t hear until 16 week appointment.

Answer

It is the 16 week appointment. We heard ours last week 😍

Answer

Even at my 16 week appointment i didnt get to i asked why they said they dont do it until much later now?

Answer

I'm 19w4d and I've still not heard our babies heart beat, hospital and midwife hasn't done it yet. don't know if it'll even happen yet!

Answer

It was 16 weeks for me; I was told anytime before that was a little early and it avoids people panicking if it can't be found.

Answer

I didn’t hear babies heartbeat until my 26 week midwife appointment even at the scans they never turned it up so we could hear it.
