When should I have early scan to see heartbeat?
Hi girls, I am 5wks 3days and as I had a MMC last Oct I am going to ask my MW for an early scan. When is the best time to go to be sure of seeing a heartbeat - don't want to go to early but desperate to go asap to put my mind at ease. I was thinking about 7 wks?? (
Thanks Camlo x

I think it depends on your hospital from what I've read on here. I had an early scan at 5+2 as I had been bleeding and cramping after a previous m/c last year. There is another lady on here however who can't be scanned until 7 weeks. If you have an Early Pregnancy Unit, I'd phone them and ask them. Of note, they couldn't see heartbeat at that stage, just identified 'normal' looking sac and yolk. H/b was detected at over 6 weeks via internal scan.
Good luck!xx
I need to find that out too.
Before my son I had an mmc (Went for first scan and no heartbeat) so I really don't want to risk that again. The sooneer I get it over with the better because I'm just sat worrying now
Good to see you on here hun.x
I had an internal scan at around 8 weeks and the heartbeat was visible then, could see the tiny baby it already had little stumps where arms and legs would be but it still had a yolk in the sac like a bird!
I think if you go earlier they can tell if there's something there but might not always see the heart beating. If you tell them what happened they might suggest you go for a scan at about 6 weeks and another one about 9 weeks.
Take care hun. xxx
A big massive congratulations to you chick and lots of sticky babydust heading your way...
After everything you went through you all really deserve this...
I had an scan at 6 weeks which showed an heartbeat, it was internal scan but I reckon you would be better waiting (I know how hard that is) until 7 weeks as if your out on your dates by a day or two the heartbeat may not have started yet and you would have a really stressful time waiting for another scan a week later...
Good luck chick and I hope the next few weeks aren't to stressful for you (although having been where you are I know it will be tough but you'll battle on through)

fingers crossed for you, i had mmc last april and know how it feels to want to see heartbeat as soon as you can.
