I just got my doppler today but I don't know if i should use it yet or wait. I am so scared of not hearing a heartbeat so waiting might be better. Has anyone else got there doppler and heard a heartbeat at 8 weeks?

I really need to look into to getting one of those!

If it is something like at the doctors it should work. They say between 8-11 weeks.

I found my sweet-pea's heartbeat with mine yesterday at 8w,2d! I heard it again today too! I was actually suprised I found it so early. Everyone is different though, so you MIGHT not be able to find it right away. They say sometimes it's easier to find if you have a full bladder. I knew that I might not have heard the heartbeat this early, so I figured I wouldn't freak out if I couldn't. If you think it may make you too nervous if you can't find it yet, then I would say to wait another week (although I bet you won't be able to now that you have the doppler in your hands! )The last time I used a doppler, I found my baby's heartbeat between 9-10 weeks....Good luck!

I tried to use my doppler today and I didn't hear anything. Now I wish I would have waited because I am now nervous. I've had 2 miscarriages so not being able to hear a heartbeat freaks me out. I will try not to stress about it.

i don't have on but my doctor tried hers yesterday at my appointment...8wks 4 days and nothing she said not to worry though she told me usually 10-11wks most women will be able to hear it....good luck!

It is definitely nerve wracking trying to find it the first few times. A trick I learned is to have a fuul bladder. Then sit on the edge of the bed and lay back so that my legs are still hanging off. The earliest I have found one of mine was about 8.5 weeks.

i'm thinking about buying one...i would be interesting

I told DH I wanted one so anytime I was freaking out thinking something was wrong I could just listen to the heartbeat and feel better, but then he said "Ya, but what if you can't find it or something...then you will freak out even more!" Now I don't know if I should get one or not!!!! I think it would be so cool though!

I got mine yesterday and heard the heartbeat at 7w6d. It took FOREVER to find it though. My baby's beat was 168-177BPM depening on the time of day. It really is fun to play with. The kids were all excited and amazed to hear it for the first time.

I wouldn't get to upset. 8 weeks is super early to hear the heartbeat. Last time I was pg I had one and couldn't find it tell 11 weeks. Everyone is different so please don't worry if you can't find it.
