when can you see heart-beat?

I have had 2 miscarriages and one healthy pregnency.  I would like to know the earliest you can see a heart-beat through an ultrasound.  I want to go in asap when I find out I'm pregnant so I don't have to worry.

I would recommend going in at 7wks. That is when most women see the first heartbeat on a ultrasound.

I would recommend going in at or anytime after 7wks. That is usually when you can hear the heartbeat first.

It really varies from baby to baby and mom to mom! My baby it was 7 weeks when we first saw the heartbeat. (After panicking for a whole week because we didn't see it at 6). Some women here have seen the heartbeat at 5. It really varies. I would still go to the doctor, though. They may consider you high risk with the m/c  you had and want to keep an eye on things a little closer. :)

I had my first ultrasound and we saw the baby, heartbeat fetal pole at 8 weeks exactly

Hi, I had my first u/s at 6wks 2days, and the doc was able to find the heartbeat fine! Maybe some people it may be later.

First time we saw ours was 8 weeks.

I saw my babies heartbeat at 5 weeks, 3 days. Maybe I got lucky with it, but I saw a very strong heartbeat then. :-)
