The second trimester is the stage of pregnancy where the fetus' heartbeat is audible with an ordinary stethoscope. The first trimester is too early for the heartbeat to be heard with a stethoscope, and the fourth trimester does not exist as pregnancy only lasts three trimesters. The conception stage refers to the moment of fertilization but does not relate to the stage of pregnancy where the heartbeat is audible.
