It's not a question of if *they* will let you hear it. It's if the *baba* will! Wink

sometimes they're stubborn and don't let the Dr.S find the heartbeat!

But if they do find it, they will *def* let you hear it!!!!

My doctor first tried at my 10wk doctor's appointment, & I was lucky enough to get to hear it, then. I'm sure they'll check for it tomorrow, &if the baby cooperates, you'll get to hear it. But sometimes it takes a few tries to find it.

At 11 weeks they were able to hear the heartbeat.. Some people arent as fortunate to be able to hear the heartbeat that early.. If your doctor doesnt automatically check you can ask.. He should be able to get a doppler and try! Good luck hun!

I heard my baby's at 9 weeks, which is really early and even the doctor was surprised he found it. I've heard of others not hearing it until 16 weeks, it depends on the position of the baby.

Let us know how it goes!

With my last pregnancy my dr did not even try to hear the babies heart beats till after 12 weeks. He just looked on the ultrsound machine before 12 weeks
