You wouldn't hear a heartbeat at 5weeks pregnant, this is why in the UK we don't hae scans until the 12th week into a pregnancy as you can see and hear more. I wouldn't get to upset yet, i wish you loads of luck
Try to just wait it out, and don't worry. Also don't let them tell you anything definite yet one way or another. My doctor won't do an U/S until almost 10 weeks. I'm really excited and anxious to get the u/s as I want to know everything is okay, but when I asked them at 6 weeks to do it, they said firmly to wait. On the physical exam she said I have a small uterus. (Hope that's not bad!) LoL. I'm 6w4d.
Hang in there. You've already had one good pregnancy and that could be a good indicator. I know it's so hard to wait! Good luck.
@gillianl- thanks that is good to know the UK doesn't do it until 12 weeks, now I feel a little better about my doc! xx
Thank you so much!!!! Your advice has been with me all day and made me feel so much better; THANK YOU!
