Question: can you hear the baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope at 16 weeks?
Answer: When can you detect a baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope? ... 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.
