I had a normal scan at 6.5 weeks and they could make out the heart beat - but said that I was lucky to see the heartbeat - and it was more reliable after 7 weeks.

Try to relax (easier said than done I know) - but it all sounds ok.]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:25:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483928&title=another-scan-question#483928 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483842&title=another-scan-question#483842 Author: KJCOLE

I had an external scan at 7 weeks, bubs measured about 6 weeks 3 days, and the heartbeat was really strong. I remember being so amazed at being able to see my little one's heart thumping away on the screen that I asked the sonographer if it was possible to see a foetal heartbeat any earlier. He said it was sometimes possible from around 5 weeks if scan done internally.]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:07:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483518&title=another-scan-question#483518 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483509&title=another-scan-question#483509 Author: monikah

My doc suggested waiting till 7 weeks for my early scan so that the heartbeat would definitely be there. Even at 6 weeks some don't have heartbeats yet but are perfectly fine. Also externally this baby measured 7weeks and then internally he measured 7 weeks 2 days so quite a difference really. If you had had an internal one perhaps the dot would have measure 3mm?]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:21:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483473&title=another-scan-question#483473 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483369&title=another-scan-question#483369 Author: Roksana

I had a scan at 5 weeks 5 days, it was a few mm I think, but no heartbeat. Luckily, I had no idea that I might be able to see a heartbeat at that point, so didn't worry about the lack of it. Daniel's here now and doing fine!]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:05:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483322&title=another-scan-question#483322 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483316&title=another-scan-question#483316 Author: monikah

We had a scan at six weeks and there were two sacs - one with a heartbeat and one without. That was fine. Then we had a scan at 8 weeks and there were two sacs and two heartbeats. They are measuring about three days different so those three days for us made a huge difference and it is probably the same for you.]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:11:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483256&title=another-scan-question#483256 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483246&title=another-scan-question#483246 Author: monikah

Yeah the heartbeat usually shows at 6 weeks, you can sometimes see it before, but not usually. So it's not unusual that they couldn't see a heartbeat at 5w4d]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:34:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483199&title=another-scan-question#483199 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483192&title=another-scan-question#483192 Author: peachy

At 6wks 3days I had a dating scan done. All we could see was a small dot and a very strong heartbeat.

I think the heartbeat is more likely to be seen after 6 weeks? Someone correct me if I am wrong please?]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:30:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483192&title=another-scan-question#483192 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483186&title=another-scan-question#483186 Author: monikah

i have been getting scans done every few weeks while TTC and these continue now im pg every month under 6/7 months. the one i had done a few days ago was at 5w4d i think and he could only see a dot. it was a tummy scan noe an up the girly bits scan. i have read in heaps of places the baby should be 3 - 5mm and may even have a heart beat but i dont know which kind of scan. he said he could see a dot and was about 1mm but i thought this would be too small. did anyone else have early tummy scans and what could be seen?]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:24:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20667&PID=483186&title=another-scan-question#483186
