doppler heartbeat detection at how early?
Hello my fellow lady friends! I have a 10 week appointment tomorrow and can't remember if we can hear the heartbeat via doppler at this point? We already saw the heartbeat at an u/s appointment a few weeks ago but am needing comfort again.
Any input? Thanks!

Hello
It can be difficult to find the heartbeat until the little one is around 24 weeks but I believe it is detectable from around 16-18 weeks.
I know how you feel needing the reassurance, but as long as you have the major pregnancy symptom of no bleeding you can take it you are fine - says I - I hear the heart beat one week and start worrying again the next.
Let us know how you get on

Wow...thanks for all the input! Isn't amazing how different the medical community can "quote". I had the appointment and they automatically and without hesitation went for the doppler. I said, "Ohhh...it's not too early??!?". "Nawwww....". Okay. Then the one nurse couldn't find it so she got someone else to find, "the needle in the haystack". After they both were unsuccessful they took me into the ultrasound (I have previous losses and have been going to this OB for YEARS maybe that's why?). Anyway...the reason they couldn't pick up the heartbeat was that little peanut was more like a mexican jumping bean! SO HILARIOUS! Even the sonogram tech couldn't get the heartbeat b/c of all the wiggly and movement. She said NO WONDER the doppler couldn't find it! I got to see arms and legs just flailing! My Mom was there and she got teary...very sweet and wonderful to see! SOOOO...here's to all of your peanuts and their little tickers!! xoxoxoxoxo
