Can you hear the baby’s heartbeat on a Doppler at 5 weeks?

Question

I heard it’s typically not possible to hear the heartbeat until 12 weeks, but I’m curious to see if anyone else has been able to hear their baby’s heartbeat before that. I’m currently 4 weeks and just bought my baby Doppler. 😬

Answer

As far as I know, babies don’t usually have a “beating heart” until 6-6.5 weeks.

Answer

I had a ultrasound at 9 weeks and I asked the ultrasound tech when I will be able to hear the heartbeat instead of just seeing it and she said around 12 weeks.  just so you're not putting so much stress on the baby's heart that early on.

Answer

No. Typically the heart isn’t even beating yet at 5 weeks.

Answer

My doctor tried at 12 and we never found my sons until I was 16 weeks which I told was common

Answer

My first I heard about 7 weeks on my Doppler, with this one I couldn’t find it till closer to 15.

Answer

I am 6 weeks 2 days have been hearing babies heart beat since 6 weeks on the dot. Yesterday was my ultrasound and we seen heart flicker at 6 weeks 1 day. Doppler is 130-140 ultrasound was 138

Answer

No. Don’t even try until around ten weeks. You’ll freak yourself out.

Answer

My doctor wouldn’t even use the Doppler until 12 weeks because she said they can’t find the heartbeat until then. I would wait a bit. And just don’t freak out if you don’t hear anything. I used one around 10 weeks and found nothing. Everything was fine, just couldn’t pick it up.
