When will I be able to hear my baby's heartbeat? At around 10 weeks, a Doppler ultrasound will allow you to hear your baby's heartbeat for the first timeâbut her heartbeat will already be visible on ultrasound by the time you are about six weeks pregnant. (To see what your baby's heartbeat looks like at six weeks, check out Drs. Doubilet and Benson's site: yourdevelopingbaby.com.) The first detection of the baby's heartbeat has both medical and emotional significance, says Dr. Doubilet.
You cannot feel your baby's heartbeat with your hand. Monitoring the fetal heart rate is essential to tracking your baby's growth and development during pregnancy. While in the womb, your baby's heart rate should be 120 and 160 beats per minute, according to MedlinePlus. The heart rate may rise when the baby is moving and drop slightly during a contraction. Doctors monitor the fetal heart rate with medical equipment because you cannot feel the heartbeat on your own.
