Have you used a fetal doppler, how early did you hear hb?
Hi,
My fetal doppler arrived yesterday and I was desparate to use it. Now, I know it says you can hear heartbeat from 12weeks but I'm only 10wk + 3 and I couldn't hear a thing.
So I'm not worrying too much (yeah right!) as I know it says 12 weeks but was wondering if anyone else had used one and how early they had heard heartbeat ? Also I'm not the skinniest person so was wondering if you think this makes a difference, can't hear anything through my fat tummy !!
Don't have scan till nearly 14wks so was hoping this would stop me worrying quite so much.

I got mine (AngelSounds) when I was 9 weeks pg and could hear the heartbeat fine.
Remember because you're so early on that you will need to point the doppler down into your pelvic area - that's where lo will be until around 16wks. Also, use gel or oil otherwise you won't be able to hear anything! I found the best position was flat on my back with an empty bladder - I had to press the doppler in quite hard.
The hb sounds like a train or galloping horse. Not everone can hear this early on though, so don't worry.
As for not being the skinniest person - me neither - I looked pg for 4 years before I was as this is my 4th child!!!
Good luck hon and let us know how you get on.xx
I def wouldn't worry if you can't hear anything yet it's completely normal.

Wouldn't worry about not finding it at this stage it's still v early.

I agree with Karen, use it very low down and push it inwards, remember it depends on lots of things, how ure cervix is laying, what position the baby is in Etc. Don't worry too much though as it can be quite difficult to locate when you 1st start using them. I heard my lo at about 12 weeks but more movement than a heartbeat but as time goes on its a lot easier. Can't remember exactly how many weeks I was when I heard the heartbeat, prob about 13/14 on an angel sounds one. Good luck xxx
