I heard the heartbeat via doppler at 9.5 weeks BUT my midwife was very surprised, she says you have about a 25% chance of hearing it that early.

I heard my baby's heartbeat at 8 weeks. It depends on how patient your doc is...if they will take the time to find it, then yes, you should be able to hear it! Good Luck!

I know that ultrasound SHOWS a heartbeat flickering as early as 6 weeks...but I think you can see it before you can hear it.

I heard and saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks. They must have really good machines at my RE's office. Not everyone has that technology, but you should at least be able to see the flicker. Good luck.

Funny how different things have such different answers. Last thing i read (i think it was what to expect when you're expecting...could be wrong) said that you would definitely be able to hear a heartbeat at that time, if not earlier.
