When does midwife find heartbeat?
I have my first midwife appointment at the end of next week when I'll be 9+3 ( I hope....). Will my midwife attempt to find a heartbeat then, or is it too early?
What are your experiences? Do you get to listen to the heatbeat every time you see your midwife?

Im 33 weeks now and everytime from 15 weeks they have been checking heartbeat and will start to write it in your notes.

My midwife tried to find it at my 15 week appt but really struggled. It was only after about 5 scary minutes of hearing my own heartbeat that we finally had a moment of LO's heartbeat. I would say don't ask for it too early cos I got really worried about not hearing it, all over nothing in the end!

On the plus side maybe I'll get to hear my bub's heartbeat at that appointment!! That's exciting
They did have my doctors name and surgery address wrong on the info at the hospital when I went for the scan though, which may have something to do with it perhaps. Hopefully I'll get a letter in the morning though. Fingers crossed!!

Anyway, don't worry if you don't hear it straight away, everyone is different. S x
