My little one is a toddler now, but I still remember hearing that tiny heartbeat at 7 weeks. It goes by so fast, enjoy this phase!

Usually around 6 to 7 weeks you can hear it! Honestly, hearing that little dub-dub sound was the only thing that kept me sane during those sleepless, nauseous weeks.

In my experience, the heartbeat is visible around the 6th or 7th week scan. It's the most beautiful moment, so cherish it when you go for your ultrasound.

I am in my 2nd trimester now, but I remember being so anxious before my 6-week scan. Did anyone else have to wait till 8 weeks to hear the heartbeat?

Charuleka Munshi · Answer

Just had my delivery recently, and I remember my first scan at 6.5 weeks showed the heartbeat. It starts beating very early, around 6 weeks onwards.

My doctor explained that the baby's heart actually starts beating around week 5 or 6, but it is best detected via transvaginal scan by week 7.

I was so terrified when they couldn't find the heartbeat at 5 weeks, but by week 7 it was clearly there. Don't stress if it's a bit early, sometimes dating is just slightly off!

Usually, the heartbeat is detected between 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy. Just book your first ultrasound around the 7th week to avoid any unnecessary worry.

By God's grace, you will hear it around the 6th or 7th week. Just stay positive, eat well, and let nature do its beautiful work.
