Excited To Hear Your Baby's Heartbeat

One of the most exciting pregnancy milestones is hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time. Unfortunately, you can't hear it as early as you can with an ultrasound or fetal Doppler. you can often hear your baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope. A fetal heartbeat may first be detected by a vaginal ultrasound. Some obstetricians will check for a baby's heart rate with a handheld Doppler.
