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.
Hearing or seeing your babyâs tiny heart beating for the first time is an exciting moment. Your baby's heart starts beating when you're six weeks pregnant. Around the time of your dating scan, your babyâs heart is beating between 110 times and 160 times a minute. Thatâs about twice as fast as your heartbeat. You may also hear your babyâs heartbeat at one of your antenatal appointments. Your midwife is unlikely to listen for it while youâre still in your first trimester, as it can be hard to pick up at this stage. After your dating scan, the next time you hear your babyâs heartbeat may be during your 16-week appointment with your midwife.
