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.
Positioning of the foetus, weight of the mother, and time can all factor in on how early you will be able to hear the heartbeat. At around 18 to 20 weeks or sometimes sooner your babyâs heart beat should be able to be heard with a stethoscope at your doctorâs office.
