From the article: When can I hear my baby's heartbeat in pregnancy?
I can remember clearly how I felt the first time that I heard the clippity clop of my baby's heart beat for the first time. I also remember feeling anxious as they looked around my still small belly trying to find it. How far along were you when you heard it? How did you feel? Who was with you? Share Your Feelings

In love!
- Went to the ER because of dehydration, and all the nurse wanted to do was listen to the heartbeat, after about 20min, she finally found it! It was 160 and I am 10 weeks pregnant! Can't wait to meet my little gummy bear! (:

BPM!
- I went to have my 1st ultrasound a 5w6d & the tech didn't think we'd be able to hear anything. She told me to try & hold my breathe. Sure enough, one strong heartbeat at 117 bpm. We are SO excited!

In Love
- I had my first ultrasound today at 8 weeks and saw my little baby's heartbeat. We didn't get to hear it but the sight was one of the most beautiful ive ever seen. I didn't know I could feel so much love for such a tiny little peanut. It measured 1.74cm. I could see its little arms and legs and it's relatively giant head. My husband was there and was rendered speechless. This is our first baby and I hope my little one never leaves me. I love you little peanut, you'll never know what you've done to me.

8 weeks on the dot!
- Today my boyfriend and I heard the baby's heartbeat and he saw him for the first time. I was....elated, overwhelmed, shocked, ecstatic, nervous, anxious, and hopeful. I have a whole new respect for God and myself and this little life that is now so real to me. Every bit of nausea, fatigue, soreness, and moodswings were completely and totally worth it to hear the tiny fast lub-dubs. I am so in love I wish I had a recording to replay over and over. Wow.

no heart beat yet
- i am 7 weeks plus and yet to feel the cardiac activity of my baby, the last ultrasound scan showed a single intrauterine gestational sac seen with one fetal pole but no visible cardiac activity. i pray that my next USS shows there is cardiac activity.

It's so beautiful
- I got to hear the baby's heartbeat during my OB intake appt at 8 1/2 weeks...they didn't think they'd be able to find the heartbeat that early but there it was! It's honestly the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. The phrase, Life is Magical passed through my head so clearly I was convinced I must've seen it written in the room, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm terrified at the prospect of new motherhood and all the changes that will come along with it, but I couldn't be more excited as well.
