First heartbeat?

Question

When can you hear the baby’s heartbeat? I’m seeing various answers online. My first ultrasound is at 7 weeks 1 day (based on LMP) and then I have another one with my regular OBGYN 2 days later. I’ve had two losses so far and have never heard a heartbeat. 
I was wondering everyone’s personal experiences. Thanks!

Answer

You should be able to see it by 6-7 weeks, so your first ultrasound.

Answer

I went in at 7 weeks and I heard the baby’s heartbeat. I had the vaginal check￼ so they stuck that thing inside and I heard it and seen the baby

Answer

We saw the heartbeat at 8w flickering strong on the screen and will be able to hear it for the first time coming up at 12w.

Answer

7 weeks transvaginal

Answer

I didn’t hear it at my first appointment at around 8 weeks because it was done down in radiology instead of my doctors office and they can’t give me any information- but the next week I had one with my actual doctor and I heard the heartbeat.

Answer

If I remember correctly I remember hearing it the first time at 8 weeks

Answer

I heard it via vaginal ultrasound at 7+3. I know people who heard it as early as 6 - I just didn’t have an ultrasound at 6 weeks so can’t say for sure.

Answer

We heard it with an abdominal ultrasound at 6w4d with my daughter

Answer

I saw it at 8 weeks and heard it at 14 in the doctors office with a Doppler

Answer

I didnt hear the heartbeat at 7 weeks. My ultrasound tech told me it was too early to hear it but i saw it. I first heard the heartbeat on our home Doppler around 10 weeks and then the first time i heard it at the doctor was on a Doppler at my 12 week appointment.
