Answer
A fetal heartbeat is usually detectable by ultrasound around 6 to 8 weeks of gestation. However, the exact timing can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the ultrasound equipment and individual variations in fetal development. Hearing the fetal heartbeat is an exciting milestone for expectant parents. It's important to remember that not all pregnancies progress as expected, and there may be other contributing factors.
It's always recommended that you receive regular prenatal care and speak to your doctor about any concerns you may have regarding your baby’s heartbeat or overall development.
