To hear baby's heartbeat for the first time, or if you want a heartbeat teddy with a recording of baby's heartbeat, you have to be at least 10 weeks into your pregnancy. 

At any pregnancy ultrasound scan appointment where the pregnancy is at least 10 weeks the sonographer can let you hear baby's heartbeat. 

At Starlight, there is a service available for you to book in for our midwife Laura Gardner to listen in.

Starlight Ultrasound offers early pregnancy scans from as early as five weeks.

You can see our real-time availability and book an early pregnancy scan here.
