Fetal Heartbeat???? Posted: 06-07-04 13:17pm


This is my first pregnancy and I had a question when can you actually hear a heartbeat and see the baby on ultrasound. Can you please let me know I have my first appointment on friday and im wondering what I should be able to see or hear and when im 9 weeks and the nurse said they would do an ultrasound because I had a miscarriage not to long ago. But I really dont have to many symptoms so im kind of worried. Please respond.

Yes you can. You will be able to see everything, including arms and legs! I had my ten week u/s last week and it was amazing! The baby waved its arms and swam around when the doctor pressed on my tummy. And right now, you can only see the baby's heartbeat. They kind of turn it into sound with computers, but you aren't really hearing the heartbeat, you're hearing a computers version of the video of the heartbeat. You can hear it starting at about 12 weeks I think.

When I was about 14 weeks I heard my little girls heart beat the sad thing was she had a bad heart and well I had to have an abortion to remove her because I had open heart sugery when I was 11 and the doctors said the baby would be a lot worse then I was, it was really hard and I still cant really think about it to this day I try to bring it out of my head and act like it never happened how do I get over something like this.
