Thanks guys..I appreciate all your answers. I have been extremely stressed out and I am praying this baby is ok. So I hope I at least see his/her little heart beating...thanks again..

I went in to my ob office and was not sure how far along i was..... so they did a vab ultrasound and they were able to see the little bean and the blinking heart..... I dont know if you can hear it on a doppler that early but you can definitely see it on an ultrasound..... When I went in they said I was 6 weeks and 5 days and were able to see the little heart just beating away.... so they should be able to locate it
I saw it with my last which unfortunately ended in miscarriage and i was 7 weeks and before that scan i had one at around 5-6 weeks and they saw the heartbeat!
YES they can hear it! Couple years ago i had a miscarriage. I went to my doctor appt at 8 weeks and they COULDNT hear the heartbeat which is how they knew i was having a miscarriage.....i had not started bleeding and all that yet....which is why i didnt know i was "miscarrying"....sure enough tho, i started to within a week.
So, yes they can hear it!
I think it just depends... I have heard many women have heard/seen a heartbeat that early, and some have not.
I know you must be stressing, but I don't think there is a clear yes or no answer here. =(
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
I had my first u/s @ 8 weeks, and I could see the fllicker heartbeat on the screen.
