Ask them to your bloods, urine doesn’t always detect if you’re pregnant straight away. Good luck and keep us up dated xx

You can sometimes hear the blood pumping through your veins with it.

Dopplers can’t pick up heartbeats till about 16 weeks which is when the midwives start using them. Sometimes can pick up a feotal heartbeat after 10 weeks if you are lucky.

Foetal heartbeats develop after 6 to 7 weeks

It’s most likely your blood pumping it sound rhythmic and can be mistaken. A fetal heartbeat is more of a definitive sound and much faster than your own x
