Q: When can you see the heartbeat?

I go on Monday for my first ultrasound for this pregnancy. I will be 6 weeks 2 days. I know alot of people are able to see the heartbeat at that point but is it normal also to not be able to see it yet and everything still be ok? My last pregnancy they only saw the sac at my 8 week ultrasound and I'm terrified that is what will happen this time as well. When was the first time you guys saw the heartbeat?

My OB didn't recommend doing the doppler to hear the heart beat until after 12 weeks as it sends of high pitched sounds. I had an U/S at 8 weeks and they just measured the baby and the EDC based on my LMP and based on that ultrasound were the same so they knew the baby was growing fine. I had my next ultrasound at almost 12 weeks at which point the U/S tech pointed out the heart beat and I was able to hear it also when they did the ultrasound. So I didn't hear it until almost 12 weeks.
