A member asked:
How far along in pregnancy do you have to be to hear the baby's heart beat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
11-12 weeks: With the aid of an ultrasound machine, the heartbeat can be heard as soon as it is detected. With a hand held doppler it can be between 11-12 weeks, a little sooner for very thin women, a little later for obese women.
