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.
One of the most reassuring sounds a pregnant mother can hear is the steady thumping of her baby's heartbeat. Before 20 weeks of pregnancy, fetal heartbeats are typically monitored by doctors using a heart rate Doppler. While buying or renting an at-home Doppler is possible, it is often too expensive. Thankfully, after 20 weeks a baby's heartbeat can often be heard using a relatively cheap and easy-to-procure stethoscope.
