I’m 12 weeks pregnant. I think I’m getting very visibly bigger every day. I have cramps, but guess that they are normal. When you can hear baby’s heartbeat? Please post.
You might hear it on foetal Doppler. Baby’s heart beat can be felt after 10-12th week. Baby’s heartbeat is much faster then ours, it is between 120 and 180 beats per minute. Fetal Doppler can also be used at home, without help of professional, but it is important to be sure that using proper FDA approved fetal Doppler. Foetal Doppler should not be used more than 3 times per week.
My baby's heart beat was heard @ 9wks 4days past LMP or 10wks4days by sonogram. 142 beats. Dr was even more surprised to hear since I have tipped uterus
