If the doctor doesn't detect heart in six weeks of pregnancy is anything wrong with pregnancy?

Normally a fetus heartbeat is not heard until 10-12 weeks with a doplar ultrasound device. With a stethoscope somewhere around the 17-18 weeks. 6 weeks is very early to be detecting a heartbeat! Good Luck!


You are confirmed pregnant heartbeat monitor finds heartbeat but ultrasound can't find embryo?

You must go for a second opinion. When the fetal heartbeat is present there must be a fetus. Sometimes a woman can have an ectopic pregnancy and the fetal heartbeat can be heard, but the fetus is not in utero. It is in the fallopian tube. This is a serious condition so you should definitely get a second ultra sound. ASAP!!!

Repeat the ultrasound. Tests fail all the time, so get the ultrasound done again.It could just be the position of the fetus causing interference. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Try not to stress (easy to say I know).
