When does a Doppler detect heartbeat?

Question

I’m 10 weeks and I cannot find the babies heartbeat idk to worry or not

Answer

It depends, some people can get it as early as 9 weeks, others can’t find it until 16-20 weeks. Depends on the location of your placenta, if baby is hiding behind our placenta or your pubic/pelvic bones.
Personally I found my babies at 11 weeks but I don’t find it everyday, sometimes she hides. That’s why drs don’t recommend Doppler’s because they can cause more stress than needed. 
When you are searching for it make sure you are searching way down low, angle the Doppler under your pubic bone and move it very slowly

Answer

I found this baby at 10w3d but only because I already knew where to look and about how long it would take thanks to my first pregnancy as well. It’s not always easy though and takes lots of patience!

Answer

Yesterday at my 12 week check up the doctor couldn’t hear the babies heart beat on the fetal Doppler so she pulled out a small hand held ultrasound machine and there was baby and the heart was just beating away! My doctor told me it’s hard to find the heart beat at 12 weeks sometimes. I wouldn’t worry, it’s still early! 😊

Answer

Take it slow. Until you get the hang of it, it take a while. I find my little girl immediately in the mornings but she’s muffled more at night when I’m bloated / full. Try different things and be patient!

Answer

My midwife told me at my 10 week appointment it was way too early to read it on an at Home Doppler!

Answer

I had to youtube how to use my Doppler 🤦🏻‍♀️ I couldn’t find it but I watched a video, did exactly what the lady said and found it!!!

Answer

Everyone is different 
Position of baby aswell 
This is my 5th and I have been able to get since 7weeks but my uterus is much higher this time

Answer

Prop you bottom up on a pillow! That helps a lot! I found it at 10 weeks and check daily! Good luck!

Answer

my midwife couldn't find the heartbeat at 12w4d, sometimes your uterus takes a while to come forward enough. I had an ultrasound later the same day tho and everything was good 😊

Answer

I couldn’t find mine either. I was 10.1 days. However I just heard at a private scan at 9.5 weeks. I thought I would love the Doppler but not so much!!
