A member asked:
If i will be 8 weeks on my first prenatal appointment will they check forbthe fetal heart beat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
US: At about 5 or 6 weeks ultrasound with a vaginal probe can show a baby’s heart beating. With abdominal ultrasound it may be around the 7th week (or 8th week). It will take longer before it can be heard by doppler.
