I know how you feel. I had problems during ym 1st pregnancy so the second one that heartbeat meant i knew everything was alright. People told be I should be able to hear it at 8 weeks or after but if I went past 13 an didn't hear it, that was not good. I finally heard it when my baby was about 10 weeks and that was rare to hear it that early the Doctor said. So, everyone says something different so don't freak out if you don't hear it until 10 weeks or after. It didn't sound like I thought it would. It was almost like the sound you hear when you put a sea shell up to your ear. Sort of like wind.

I know i am only 8 weeks, but i am dying to hear the little one's heartbeat, when can it be heard via an external doppler? I was thinking of geting one later on, so the other half can listen as well.

Angel sounds doppler you can listen from 12 weeks others are far more expensive and cheaper ones can't detect it until 20 weeks by then you will feel it move x x

hey there,

congratulations on your pregnancy! to answer your question i m not sure when you can hear it. my midwife said that you can only hear the heartbeat properly around 16 weeks ( heard it for the first time a few weeks back it was amazing). dunno if this is true like!Lol

take care
