When can you first Detect a Fetus' Heartbeat? Posted: 06-19-06 22:33pm


hi i have had 2 misscariages one in june 05 and one in october 05.I started to bleed both times at the 11 week mark.I was told the baby had died at 8 weeks both times. I am 5 weeks pregnant now and am very anxious.I was wondering when you are able to detect the heartbeat of the baby as i would really like to have an early ultrasound to see if everything is ok,as i do not want to go all the way through to week 11 again with no success
