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?

I measured exactly 6w2d @ my first ultrasound & they were able to see baby's heartbeat :) So it's not impossible this early to detect hb.

And sorry, I ignored ur other question. It is completely normal not to see the heart beat around the time your indicating. I think you can really see the heart beat clearly at 7w. I'm 8w pregnant, and didn't see a clear picture of the heart beating. But I saw it on my 6w US.
