How do they "hear" the heartbeat?

Question

Do you see/hear it with just a transvaginal ultrasound or do they have a different way of getting that?

Answer

The dr heard it in the transvaginal one at 6 weeks.. I could only see it. But at 8 weeks I heard it loud and clear

Answer

I had a transvaginal ultra sound, saw the light blinking which is the heart beat then immediately heard the heartbeat when doc turned the audio on right at 7 weeks!

Answer

I saw the heart flickering but didn't hear a heartbeat at 7 weeks.

Answer

The nurse uses a Doppler radar to find the heartbeat and you can hear it through the speaker of the device. The nurse did this with me at 9 weeks. It took a while for her to find it because the baby is so small, but once you hear it you know. It beats so much faster than your heart does. Seeing the heartbeat with an ultrasound is much quicker!

Answer

My doctor uses Doppler. But I haven't had it yet so I have no idea. I was only 7 weeks at my first appt. I'll be 11 weeks when I go back again so hoping we hear/see (I dunno lol) something. 🙏🏼

Answer

You see it

Answer

I had an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound at 8w4d, and we saw the heart flickering, but we didn't get to hear it. I didn't have it done it my doc's office, though. It was done in a radiology department at a hospital. We should get to hear it at the next appointment at 11 weeks.
