A member asked:

Hi i had ultrasound done can see fetal pole and yoke sac but no heatbeat baby is 6 weeks is this normal

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: By 6 weeks you usually see a heart beat but you may not be quite that far along in which case just seeing the fetal pole and yolk sac is completely normal. Hope all goes well.
