im about 5 and 1/2 week preggers my hcg levels 5 days ago where 295 they are going up normaly so at my scan on tuesday they will be around 18880 so im wondering if ill see a baby or not?
i have had 3 miscarrages my last one i had a scan at 5 and 6 weeks and all i saw was a sac.
will i see a baby, will i see a hart beat?

I have read that your levels need to be over 2000 to see much of anything but I know I saw a gestational sac on mine and the levels were only at 300 during my last pregnancy. I would definately say it would be too early for a heartbeat - you may get lucky but still I don't want you to freak out if they don't see it. I went at 4.5 weeks and saw a gestational sacs and yolk sacs so basically two black dots and they are having me come in at 6.5 weeks to look for heartbeats. Like a said you may get lucky but don't get discouraged either, it is amazing the difference a day can make this early on!! Good luck to you and hang in there

It may be too early to see either one (based on what other women have said).  But I would request another one either a week or 2 after if you don't.  But there is definitly the possibility of seeing both.
