This strategy only makes sense after you are already maxing out your 401(k) (and your spouseâs work retirement plan if applicable). There is a way to indirectly contribute to a Roth IRA. Open up and contribute to a traditional IRA, and then convert it to a Roth IRA after holding the funds for one year.
The baby's heart starts to beat at around 6 weeks. You may be able to hear â and see â your baby's heart beat for the first time when you're about 8 weeks pregnant if you have an early ultrasound exam. Otherwise, you'll probably first hear it with a fetal Doppler at a regular prenatal care visit.
The baby's heartbeat can usually be heard at about 10 to 12 weeks using a doppler or ultrasound at the doctor's office. I heard my babies heartbeat from 6 weeks on a doppler, but its easier to hear on your scan which is at 12 weeks. Usually at around 12 weeks you can hear it with a doppler. There really is no definite date that you can guarantee hearing it. 12-13 weeks by doppler, usually.
