I am measuring 5w6d </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774636 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 07:58:39 +0000 skinnycow 2774636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably unlikely you'll hear it but you may be able to see it. My OB doesn't attempt listening to the heartbeat until 12 weeks but we could clearly see it at 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774634 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 07:42:38 +0000 erinbaderin 2774634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you definitely won't be able to hear it, but you might be able to see it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774616 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 03:24:54 +0000 Kemma 2774616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an internal scan at 5w6d and the tech could clearly see and measure a heartbeat of 130 but having said that I know that's definitely on the early side. I apparently have a retroverted uterus so the tech couldn't see much from the abdominal ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774588 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 19:22:42 +0000 SweetiePie 2774588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a chance but I wouldn't expect it at that stage. Def don't freak if they can't find it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774584 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 19:01:47 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2774584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw a heartbeat at 6+3 and baby measured 6 exactly with a transvaginal ultrasound. I heard a heartbeat at 6+6 (I was back at the doctors due to bleeding), baby measured 6+4 at that ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774579 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 18:45:28 +0000 HeartAbandoned 2774579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We saw, but didn't hear, the heartbeat via transvaginal u/s at 6w6d. They were able to measure to tell us that the baby was right on track for what I had calculated as my EDD. If it's too early to see or hear a heartbeat, I'd ask to go back in a week. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774571 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 17:43:49 +0000 periwinklebee 2774571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This pregnancy, we saw it (with an abdominal us) at 6 weeks exactly. With a previous pregnancy, we saw it at 6+4. But so early, it will be very contingent on your dates - a day or two can make a big difference - and on the equipment and skill of the tech. I think I would have ideally had the first scan later, when there is less uncertainty about whether you should be able to see it or not, but because of a history of molar pregnancy, that wasn't an option for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774567 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 17:10:48 +0000 petitenoisette 2774567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you'd be able to hear one but maybe be able to see. I've never had an appointment that early but saw the heartbeat for my first at 8 weeks. I would assume you won't see anything and be pleased if you do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774557 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:27:30 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2774557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I assume you'll only be able to see the flicker of anything. Can you reschedule for a week later? That's what I did for mine and still only got to see the flicker at 6+5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774546 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 15:45:22 +0000 birdofafeather 2774546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my 9w appt (for my third) and expected a transvaginal US or a doppler heart beat but doc said nope to both! I was surprised! I would think 6w way too early to hear anything but if they did a transvaginal US, see the flicker of the HB, at least that's how it was with our first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774523 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 14:53:07 +0000 MaryM 2774523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At just over 6 weeks, they weren't able to find my baby's yet. </p> <p>It'll depend on the quality of the US and the person doing the scan most likely. If it's there yet. And you might only be able to see it, not hear it. </p> <p>I probably wouldn't go in expecting it. Consider it a bonus if they happen to find it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-we-be-able-to-hear-the-heartbeat#post-2774519 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 14:38:19 +0000 Mrs.Macaroon 2774519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tomorrow is my first scan and I am super nervous. Based on my LMP I will be 6w1d. I know that many say that they were able to hear a heartbeat at 6w. However, I have a feeling I'm not quite 6 weeks yet, I typically ovulate a day or 2 later than the norm. MY guess is that I'm closer to 5w5d. Do I still have a chance of hearing the heartbeat? I have been a ball of nerves and I feel like hearing that could calm me a bit. </p> <p>TIA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-1363151 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 05:54:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1363151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: sorry to hear you are dealing with this too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-1362919 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:54:15 +0000 Pancakes 1362919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So happy to find this thread tonight after my trip to the ER this afternoon!

And I just know we'll both have a happy, healthy baby in November :) Be sure to ask how things are going with that bleed your doctor saw. I'm glad you haven't had any issues, but just in case you ever had spotting at any other point, it would be good to know if that blood is still there.</p> <p>@Grace: Thank you :) I hope all is well with your pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-768279 Wed, 08 May 2013 15:40:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 768279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, I'm so glad that you are ok.

We had a SCH and were put on pelvic rest for a couple weeks, it got bigger and then I was put on strickt bed rest for 5 to 6 weeks. At 20 weeks it was completely clear and all is good now. Stay positive and follow your docs orders all will be well. I am sorry that you had such a scare after the fertility issues you and DH encountered.</p> <p>Wishing you the best =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-768187 Wed, 08 May 2013 15:14:02 +0000 Mrs.Someone 768187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you and baby are OK! Those of us dealing with fertility issues shouldn't have to have pregnancy scares too... Hang in there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-768175 Wed, 08 May 2013 15:09:15 +0000 lindseykaye 768175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had an SCH and was bleeding at 6 weeks - went in for an ultrasound and everything looked fine. They mainly were checking that the pregnancy wasn't ectopic and I wasn't miscarrying. I'm not sure if they didn't see it, but they didn't tell me about the SCH at that appointment. It wasn't until I was closer to 12 weeks and saw my midwife for the first time that she mentioned it in passing and I was like, "what?". Then she showed me on the ultrasound photo where it still was and warned me that I may have more bleeding/spotting but if I didn't have cramps then it was OK but that I should call if I ever was worried about anything. I'm really glad she warned me though as I did have more bleeding when it finally resolved itself fully and would have been really worried had I not expected it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-768167 Wed, 08 May 2013 15:04:21 +0000 Dandelion 768167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you're ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-768105 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:45:50 +0000 MamaBehr 768105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a SCH as well, I was just told to take it easy and it resolved itself. I think mine showed up around 7 weeks and lasted until 12 weeks or so. It was super duper scary but it ended well! Now I have a happy, healthy, and chunky baby boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-768009 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:17:43 +0000 Grace 768009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I'm so glad everything is ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-768006 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:17:29 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 768006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man I'm happy everything turned out okay! My doctor offhandedly mentioned 'a bleed' he saw at my 8 week ultrasound and that was that -- no further scan, no rest, nothing. I'm still picking up baby on the doppler and everything seems to be okay, so hopefully we can have happy endings together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/subchorionic-bleeding#post-767999 Wed, 08 May 2013 14:15:52 +0000 PrincessBaby 767999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an SCH and was put on bedrest at 6w3d...They monitored it closely w/ u/s and it had resolved a few weeks later. I actualky had several bleeding/spotting incidents, but everything turned out PERFECT!!! I never had any other issues! </p>
