Can GP listen for heartbeat?

[xmasdust]

It is nigh on impossible for me to ever get to see my midwife (bless her) - if i went to see my GP, do they have the necessary equipment to listen for baby's heartbeat?

Can't see why not, tbh.

Mine always did and prided himself on finding a heartbeat before the midwife could (like at about 8 weeks!)

Mine did a few times, he wasn't very knowledgeable about the baby's positioning though - at that time ds2 was breech - and the GP said the midwife would know better, but he was always able to locate the heartbeat.

i just want to hear the heartbeat - worrying myself sick atm!!! Thanks XX
