I have a heartbeat monitor but before using it wanted to know at how many weeks can you hear a babies heartbeat? Can u before the 12 week scan?

Answer
Generally 12-13 weeks is the earliest you will hear the hear beat without an actual scan being done. You can hear it in the doctor's office if they use a doppler monitor only after 12-13 weeks because up until that point the baby is still tucked down in your pelvis. Its only after, when your uterus peeps out over the pelvic bones that it is likely you will hear it.

Does a babies heartbeat vary during pregnancy?

Q. My babies heartbeat on Friday was 151. I went back to the obgyn today and it was 141. Is this anything to worry about? One was through a sonogram the 151 and the one today was through a monitor. I am 13w and 1day.

Answer
Yes, they can vary a lot due to baby's activity level. Heartbeats are generally slower when baby is resting or sleeping and faster when he/she is active. That amount of variance is nothing to worry about. If you'd seen 151 one day and 90 another, I would be concerned, but a change of 10BPM is totally normal.

Best of luck!
