Is It Possible To Hear Heart Beat Of Fetus At Early Weeks Of Gestation?
Question: Hi I was wondering if me or my pbgyn can see a blimp of the fetus at 2-4 weeks along on a ultrasound, or transvaginal?
And can we hear a heart beat or see one at 2-4 weeks along?
And can we hear a heart beat or see one at 2-4 weeks along?
Brief Answer:
No possible to see heart beat or hear it now
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
It is not possible to see a beating heart right now or hear the fetus heart beat by you or the OBGYN using an ultrasound. This is generally visible as from 8weeks. You would be able to feel the baby move by 18weeks. We can hear the heart beats using a fetoscope by 24weeks.
At this age, the OBGYN may see a sac in the uterus and that's it. You will not be able to obtain any more specific information about this.
I hope this addresses your query fully/ Please, feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you well and should you be an expectant mother, I wish you a very safe pregnancy and delivery.
