baby heart beat

[moneimitch]

I had a exam today 6 weeks 5 days and doc couldn't see baby heart beat. He said that its still early but I'm worried. When is the earliest you can see the heartbeat

9 weeks for min

I found out I was pregnant at exactly 6 weeks and 5 days also. But we heard heart beating but everyone is different.

I've seen mine at 7 weeks via ultrasound

They heard it with a vaginal ultra sound both times

How were they looking for it? Via ultrasound or doppler? Doppler usually won't pick up the heartbeat until 12 weeks or so. A vaginal ultrasound can usually pick it up early (heard ours at 6 weeks) and a belly ultrasound is in between 6 weeks plus

I heard mines at 6 weeks 1 day, it was 115 per minute,  the best sound I ever heard in my life. Today I'm 8 weeks 2 days and my munchkin heart beat was 175 per minute

Was this via ultrasound or Doppler? It's definitely early to hear by Doppler, I don't know any docs who would attempt at that early point. Ultrasound... well, I've seen tons of people who have seen heartbeat at 6 weeks. But your dates might be off by a few days and it would be totally understandable that you couldn't quite see it yet. The doc is right. It's early yet. Give it time and try not to worry

We didn't hear mine until 10 weeks. Its nothing to worry about this early
