This strategy only makes sense after you are already maxing out your 401(k) (and your spouseâs work retirement plan if applicable). There is a way to indirectly contribute to a Roth IRA. Open up and contribute to a traditional IRA, and then convert it to a Roth IRA after holding the funds for one year.
The baby's heart starts to beat at around 6 weeks. You may be able to hear â and see â your baby's heart beat for the first time when you're about 8 weeks pregnant if you have an early ultrasound exam. Otherwise, you'll probably first hear it with a fetal Doppler at a regular prenatal care visit.
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.
