At 5 weeks, can you *hear* a baby's
heartbeat at an ultrasound or do you *see*
it?
Edit to add:
because I didn't even know you can hear it
that early. I always thought the first
time you just saw it on the screen..And it
was this tiny little thing going black and
white and black and white etc. I'm just
asking because this girl is telling me she
had an ultrasound at exactly 5 weeks and
they got to hear the baby's heartbeat and
it was really fast. I'm not trying to
prove her wrong. I'm just confused

I went for an early u/s at around 5 weeks
and saw a heartbeat. Actually looked
like a pulsating blob. Lol it's very
hard to hear a heartbeat before 9 weeks or
so.

I'm pretty sure you can only see it that
early on. I know the midwife said, when
I was about 8 weeks gone, that she might
not be able to hear the baby's heartbeat
yet.

I never heard the heartbeat until my 16
week appointment, before that all I could
do was see it on the untrasound
and a pulsating blob is really the best
description of it ^_^

edit to add, its hard to even see the
heartbeat at 5 weeks (not impossible just
difficult) or at least thats what ive been
told

They had a hard time finding amelia's
heart beat until her 18th week....Then
they found it just fine. ---

I was lucky and heard finn's heartbeat at
exactly 9 weeks. It was music to my ears!
I never had an early ultrasound but I
always thought you could only *see* it in
the beginning.

I had an early ultrasound with .Gabe at
6wks... Couldn't hear the heartbeat, but
we could see it! I got to hear it via the
doppler at exactly 10wks, though.
