I guess it depends on the position of the baby and if you are lucky enough to place it in the right spot =] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-254532 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 10:58:08 +0000 jennylynn 254532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started being able to find it between 32-33 weeks with my regular stethoscope. I didn't try frequently before that though so I guess I could've possibly found it before? It is MUCH much quieter than at the doctors office (obviously) and very easy to miss. I had to lay down and be in complete silence to be able to find it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-254010 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 23:42:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 254010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you using a fetal stethoscope or a regular one? I started finding it around 24 wks, and consistently around 28 (with a fetal, I could never find it with a regular one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-253935 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 21:24:02 +0000 autumnlove 253935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried, never found it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-253902 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 21:06:37 +0000 sulli301 253902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never tried, I am almost 21 weeks this time, so maybe I'll try soon. I never tried with DD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-253899 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 21:04:15 +0000 tequiero21 253899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i attempted and we were never able to find it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-253898 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 21:04:09 +0000 mrsmenow 253898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 20 weeks and tried the other day and couldn't find it yet. I think somewhere in the mid 20's is when I found it with DD. It is a lot more specific to placement than the doppler and much more faint at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-253893 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:57:13 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 253893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never even attempted. Never thought it was possible and we have one at home (DH is a nurse) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-used-a-stethoscope-to-hear-heartbeat#post-253883 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:49:18 +0000 mrsjyw 253883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how far along were you?</p> <p>I'm just about 26 weeks, trying for the first time tonight.... can't find the hb yet. </p>
