When can I feel baby's heartbeat with my hands???

Hi, I like to know roughly when I can feel my baby's heartbeat with my hand placed on my uterus. I am about 11 weeks now.

You can't feel your babys heart beat with your hands, even when you're full term. You can start to hear the heart beat on a doppler around 16 weeks  ebay has good dopplers for about $25

Gee, I did not know that. I am a first-time mother-to-be.   :-)
I had thought if I applied just a little pressure with my hand on my tummy area, I might be able to feel a little something.

How would you be able to feel the heart beat with your hand? If your lucky you can hear it with a stethoscope around 18 weeks
