I tried for the first time at 15 weeks as was able to find baby. I just had to make sure my bladder was full

I found it at 10 weeks. We listen once a week on Saturdays. At 13 weeks, baby was hiding at my appointment and the doctor pulled out an ultrasound. So alls to say, it can still be tricky

@mrsschnur,

thank you! i’ll be 11 weeks friday and i just have really really really bad anxiety about a missed MC because my symptoms have lessened so much. and my next ultrasound is the 25th. i just really hope i can find it so that i can just feel at peace.

@kccccc,

I’d give it a try, go low and use a lot of gel

I watched some generic YouTube videos to help too. And then I’d recommend recording it so you can listen later when your brain goes “but did we really hear it?”

Mine was pretty easy from weeks 9-13. Then couldn’t find anything at 14 weeks at all. But back at 15.

@kccccc,

put a pillow under your hips! You may not find it right in the middle- my babe hangs out on the side more! Be patient, apply pressure, and go right above your pelvic bone!

I started around 25 weeks and found my daughter's heartbeat easily. I am from the May group, I just like looking at all the forums 😄

I tried at 12 weeks and didn’t have any luck. The doc was able to use a Doppler at 12 weeks and was successful. I’m returning mine.
