Asked by Kynlees_Mommy

Q: What is the earliest you have had an ultrasound done and could see the baby and hear the heartbeat?

I am now 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my second baby. With my first pregnancy I didnt have an ultrasound until almost 10 weeks but I know you can see the baby and hear the heartbeat sooner than that. I have already had a scare with this baby and was told there was a chance of it being ectopic. The doctor has been checking my HCG levels every 2-3 days ever since. They have went from 27 to 103 to 157 to 448 to 2,327. He has said once I was far enough along, he would perform an ultrasound to determine if the pregnancy is in the uterus (like it should be) or whether it is ectopic. It is hard to not get excited or tell anyone for the chance that it is ectopic. Im getting anxious and want to know when you had your first ultrasound? how many weeks were you? Could you see the baby or hear the heartbeat? What was your hcg level at the time of your ultrasound?(if you had yours checked) ANY feedback will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I had my first ultrasound at 6w2d and we were able to see the baby as well as the heartbeat flickering. I'm not sure of what my HCG levels were at that time though. Every pregnancy is different though- some ladies haven't seen baby or heatbeat that early, some have seen it a few days earlier than me. If you don't see anything, I wouldn't be alarmed, as everyone is different- especially if you're off on your dates, even by a few days! Best of luck :)
