Yes a babies heartbeat can be heard from the mothers womb with a stethoscope once you're at least in week 20 of your pregnancy.

Before 20 weeks of pregnancy you will be unable to hear the babies heartbeat with a stethoscope and will need to have a different medical device to listen to the babies heartbeat.

But if you're 20 weeks into your pregnancy then the babies heartbeat should be easily heard with a stethoscope.

You can buy a stethoscope online and use it to listen to your babies heartbeat or even your own.

A babies heart begins beating around 22 days after you conceive the baby and before that you won't be able to hear the babies heartbeat at all because it's not beating even though the baby is still developing.
