I heard it at 9 weeks and 5 days
I went to the ER at almost 11 weeks for bleeding and they didn't find a heartbeat on the doppler . I was told that it was mostly very thin women who could hear it that early. On the ultrasound it was going strong. My little girl is now two and a half. I don't think the doctor even began using the doppler at appointments until closer to 15 weeks.
I didnt hear my baby girls heartbeat until 10 weeks
i had my first doctors appointment at 8 weeks and couldn't hear our daughters heartbeat with their machine over the belly, but when i had my ultrasound at 9 weeks we could see on the monitor that her heart was beating strong! don't worry too much, i'm sure everything is perfect!
They struggled to find ours at 16 weeks when I was in hospital but she was low down and hidden behind my placenta too, try not to worry
Not everyone can hear the heartbeat at 12 weeks depending on how baby is positioned, position of placenta, etc. It's fairly normal. I'm guessing you'll probably hear it next time.
