I believe it was around 12 weeks. I started trying at around 10 weeks and worried myself sick when I couldn't find it. Then at 12 weeks it suddenly appeared loud and clear.

I was in hospital at 14 weeks with severe dehydration and sickness etc. the midwives had a go at finding the baby's heartbeat with the doppler but couldn't get it. I wish they hadn't have tried coz they worried me sick.
They just said it was prob too early.
Then i was back in 2 weeks later (16 weeks) and they found it really easy, loud and clear.
Dont be worrying about it. It's hard not to but i think you're well too early yet xx
I've got a display on my doppler which shows it can detect the HB but I can't hear it yet.
Everybody is different, some find it earlier than others.
Personally I found my doppler of great reassurance first time around and same this time around even if I have to just settle for the HB being displayed on the screen rather than hearing it.
