If the heartbeat is not visible at 11 weeks on an ultrasound, that would be cause for concern. The fetal heart begins beating approx. 22 days after implantation into the uterine lining. An ultrasound done at 6 weeks will confirm a viable pregnancy and you would be able to see the heart beating.
You could see a heartbeat if they do a transvaginal ultrasound.
Fetal heartbeat
An ultrasound at 6 weeks should show a fetal heartbeat, if there was a fetal heartbeat you're not miscarrying.. It's probable you estimated your due date wrong.
It would be crazy to see any heartbeat at five weeks.
You really need to talk to your doctor or the person who did the ultrasound about this.
At 8 weeks I heard my baby's heartbeat..., but at 14 1/2 wks I saw it on an ultrasound. :) Hope this helps!
No 6 weeks is very early for a scan which is most likely why he would like to see you again in a weeks time.
No, I didn't hear my babies heartbeat until I was about 14 weeks. It also depends on how much belly fat you have. I had some belly fat so maybe that's why it was a little longer for me. Don't worry everything will be fine.
ABout 5 to 6 Weeks, not much there to see really. They are tiny tiny then. God bless
I am not sure how early you mean right away, but about five weeks is the earliest they can tell through an ultrasound. But at only five weeks a heartbeat will not be detected yet, just an embryo and the thickening of the uterine lining.
With my first child I was 7w3d when I had my first u/s. My second child I was 9 weeks. This coming Monday I will have an u/s @ 6w6d and hope to see a heartbeat. I heard from my Ob/Gyn that at 6w1d there should be a heartbeat noticeable on trans. vag. u/s.
If the doctor is blind and deaf. You can even hear the heartbeat at that stage.
