Q: How early can the baby’s heartbeat be seen on an ultrasound scan?
A:
If you’re not overweight, the heartbeat can be seen on an abdominal scan from 7 to 8 weeks. If there are particular concerns to see it earlier, this can be done with a transvaginal scan at 6 to 7 weeks. A transvaginal scan should not be done without good reason.
