I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm eagerly waiting to hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time. Around which week does the baby's heartbeat typically start?
I am currently planning my pregnancy and cannot wait for that moment! I read that the heartbeat starts around 6 weeks. How early did you all hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time?
The baby's heartbeat usually starts around the 6th to 8th week of pregnancy. Your doctor will be able to show you during your first ultrasound scan. Don't worry and take care of your health.
Oh, I almost cried with anxiety when my doctor couldn't hear the heartbeat at 5 weeks, I was overthinking the worst! But at my 7th week scan, it was beating so perfectly. Please don't worry if it's too early, wait till 7-8 weeks for a clear scan.
For me, the heartbeat was detected around the 7th week scan, right when my horrible morning sickness also started. It is such a relief to hear it, even if you are feeling very sick. Just hold on, the tough phase will pass.
My doctor caught the heartbeat at 6 and a half weeks during a regular checkup. Because of my thyroid, I had to be very regular with my doctor visits from the start. Make sure you don't miss your early dating scan for this.
