Hi,
I am 6 weeks pregnant and I've just crashed my car! I normally cycle to work but since I found out I am pregnant I've been driving, as it's 'safer' - typical!
Anyway, I am fine, but the casualty department has booked me an ultrasound scan tomorrow. Has anyone else had a scan at 6 weeks? What can they see? I think the baby is supposed to be the size of a baked bean, so how can they tell anything from a scan? Can they hear the heartbeat?

Hey

I have just had a scan today at 6 weeks and 3 days - I saw my baby and it's heartbeat! It was tiny but it's there!

i had a scan at 6wks 3days to check my date,s as i couldn;t remember my lmp it's wicked the baby is tiny about the size of a grain of rice but the heart was visibly beating but don't worry if you don't see this as it is very hard to pick up good luck am sure it will be fine xx

Hi ya,
I just had a six week scan last Friday as I have previously had a miscarriage.
You will not see too much just looks like a black circle with a small white bit, the white bit, which is only a few mm long is the baby.
The doctor will confirm that every thing is ok and will confirm how many weeks pregnant you are.
You will not be able to hear a heartbeat but in half of the scans at this time you can see a pulsing of the baby (this is the heart beat).
At this time it looks nothing like a baby just a black bit with a white very small bit inside.
Hope this helps and every thing is ok, Good Luck I am sure you wont need it.

Hello!
I had my first scan at 7 1/2 weeks because they did not know how far along i was. It was really amazing! It looked like a monkey nut and i could see the heart beating really fast. They measure it and check the size then they can give you a due date, they also have a little look around the rest of your tummy to check everything is ok. I have heard that the heart beat can be seen from about six weeks but dont worry if you cant, im sure the doctor doing the scan will be able to tell you all you need to know. You can not hear the heart beat this early, i had my first midwife appointment at 12wks and could hear it then.

Good luck and enjoy!!

Because I was flying overseas on 2 12-hour flights (with a 6 hr gap between them) and he wanted to make sure the pregnancy wasn't ectopic.

I can't remember exactly what I saw, but there might have been an heartbeat. He gave me quite a few pictures and it was all very exciting.

Enjoy!

its very possile to pick up a heartbeat at 6 weeks, u shud see the yolk sac and a tiny baby!! good luck xx
