Q: Heartbeat?

I'm going for an ultrasound next week and was hoping that I would get to see the heartbeat. I will be 6 weeks at the time of the ultrasound. Is this too soon?

Had my ultrasound today at 6 weeks 1 day. Saw a little flicker of a heartbeat. The most amazing thing I've ever seen.

You should leave it until 6 and a half weeks to have a better chance of a HB. The extra few days makes all the difference at that early stage. I had one at 5w1d and only a gestational sac. Then back at 6w4d and a very strong HB of 132, they like to see it above 98-120 at the 6th week. But some don't get the HB until 7 weeks, every woman and every pregnancy is different. If you are going to have an U/S at exactly 6weeks don't be surprized and freak out if you only see a gestational sac and a yolk sac. Best of luck.
