Question: how can you hear baby's heartbeat with stethoscope?
Answer: It's possible to hear the heartbeat at home using a stethoscope. Unfortunately, you can't hear it as early as you can with an ultrasound or fetal Doppler. With a stethoscope, a baby's heartbeat is often detectable between the 18th and 20th week. Stethoscopes are designed to amplify small sounds.
