Question about hearing the baby's heartbeat
At my last doctor's visit which was this past Thursday (I was 6w/5d) we saw the heartbeat. We were unfortuntaly unable to hear it.
When do most people get to hear the heartbeat? I'm not too concerned being I saw it so I know my baby has a heartbeat but I hear so many people hear it at 7 weeks. Does a few days shy of 7 weeks make that much of a difference? I just can't understand why I couldn't hear it at that point in my pregnancy.
I also think to myself, if the doctor felt it was an issue she would have addressed to my DH and I.

Re: Question about hearing the baby's heartbeat
It might just be that your doctor's sonogram machine isn't high-tech enough to "hear" the heartbeat. We saw it @ 8 & 12 weeks. We heard it @ the imaging place that did our ultrascreen @ 11 wks, but not @ the OBs office until 16weeks and that was w/ the Doppler.

Re: Question about hearing the baby's heartbeat
I went for my first sono at 7 weeks 5 days and saw the heartbeat...I think they said it was to soon to hear if I remember correctly. I had my 2nd sono at 13 weeks 2 days and heard the heartbeat at that time. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I only saw the heartbeat at my 7 week appointment.
Yup, me too. When I go back on Nov. 6, she said I'll hear the heartbeat. I'll be 11w3d.

Re: Question about hearing the baby's heartbeat
We saw the heartbeat at 6 1/2 weeks, but the Dr wasn't able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler until 10 weeks (which they said was early).

I heard it for the first time at the 12w ultrascreen.
Same here. Heard it for the first time with the Doppler at 14 weeks.
The sono machine at my doc's office does not have the ability to hear the h/b, only to see it.
