Heartbeat check at booking apt?

Does anyone know if they check & listen to the heartbeat in your 10week midwife booking appointment? I can’t remember from last time?

They don't - it's against the current protocol because they might struggle to find it which would then only stress you out x

Ahhh that makes sense! Thank you ☺️

No I had mine a few weeks ago, I was told heartbeat will be looked at at your 16 week appointment 🥰

Depends on the trust and sometimes even on a midwife! With my previous pregnancy, my usual midwife never did it because she said it wasn't part of the protocol anymore. Then towards the end of my pregnancy I had a different midwife once and she said "oh, I know I shouldn't but would you like to listen to the heartbeat?" 🤷🏻‍♀️

No it will most likely be looked for 16weeks onwards xx
