when can you hear the heartbeat?

I'm 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Really anxious to hear it...is it normal to have stomach cramping this is my third child and I never noticed it with my first two..??

I'm the same but no bleeding it worries me so much cause I've had complications before and I don't want to with this one my last was 2.5 months early due to my placenta bursting so it scares me

I saw my second child's at 5 weeks through an ultrasound because I was cramping and bleeding. I'm only 4 weeks and I've had the worst cramps this time around! No bleeding though!!

6wks. (and if anyone comments and says you CAN'T see or hear anything at 6wks..sometimes that's true, sometimes its not. Take body structure into consideration when making an "absolutely" sure statement. I was 6wks along three weeks ago and we do have a very clear ultrasound picture with heartbeat.) I even protested that possibility I was farther along. No...6wks by measurement. now, thats not to say everyone will get to hear it at 6wks. (Also they used a transvaginal ultrasound because of how little it was)

I've just started my 6th week and hv a doctor's appt this weekend. At 4 weeks when I had myself checked I had 50-50 chance of miscarrying. I was told to take complete bed rest which I did. No more spotting since then. Some days I feel like im pregnant.. somedaysm unsure (as I get no symptoms). Feeling worried about the weekend appt. Hoping all will be well. Fingers crossed & prayers.
