Why I hear my baby heartbeat at 11 weeks pregnant with an ultrasound?

It is not possible to hear the baby's heartbeat with an ultrasound at 11 weeks of pregnancy. While ultrasounds can detect a fetal heartbeat from around 6 weeks of gestation, hearing it through the mother's ears typically needs specialized medical equipment which amplifies the heartbeat sounds. Most individuals can usually pick up the baby's heartbeat using regular listening techniques with instruments provided by the healthcare provider around 16 to 22 weeks as the pregnancy progresses and the organs, including the heart, continue to develop properly.
