Hearing that tiny heartbeat for the first time is the most beautiful feeling in the world, I still get emotional thinking about it! It usually shows up on the ultrasound around the 6th or 7th week. Just keep holding onto hope, it is a truly magical moment.
Actually, the heartbeat starts beating around week 6, yaar. But don't panic if they can't hear it in a very early scan, sometimes it's visible by week 7 or 8. Just stay calm and wait for your gynac's advice.
For IVF pregnancies, we wait eagerly for the 6-week scan to check the heartbeat. Sometimes it can take till 7 or 8 weeks to be clearly seen, so please don't lose heart if it's slightly late. Sending you so much strength and positive vibes for your scan.
Usually, the baby's heart starts beating around 6 to 7 weeks. I had gestational diabetes so I was super careful with my diet even early on, but for the scan, I just trusted my doctor's timing. Make sure to get your ultrasound done when your doc schedules it.
In my experience, the hospital staff scheduled my first dating scan at 7 weeks to check the heartbeat clearly. Every pregnancy is different, so it's always best to ask your doctor when you should come in. They will guide you precisely so you don't worry unnecessarily.
