How long does it usually take for the fetal heartbeat to appear?

From pregnancy preparation to conception is a very difficult thing. Many pregnant mothers don’t know how long it will take for the baby in their belly to have a heartbeat. But they are also very curious about when their baby shows signs of heartbeat, so many pregnant mothers will go to the hospital for examination early to see if the baby is moving. You should know that frequent B-ultrasound is not good for the baby in the belly, but the curiosity of pregnant mothers is really difficult to satisfy. Let me tell you about it below.

Normally, fetal heartbeat lasts for 50-60 days. The gestational sac can only be seen after 5 weeks of pregnancy by ultrasound examination, and the detection rate of gestational sac reaches 100% at 6 weeks of pregnancy. The embryo can be seen at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. The primitive heart tube can be seen beating when the diameter of the embryo is 2mm. The baby begins to take human shape at 8 weeks of pregnancy.

If you do an ultrasound too early, it will not be easy to see the shadow of the gestational sac because it is too small. Ideally, it is easy to see at 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. And if you do B-ultrasound too early, it will theoretically shake the fragile and newly formed embryo, which is not conducive to embryonic development. It is best to avoid doing B-ultrasound too early.

The gestational sac can be seen by B-ultrasound examination after 5 weeks of pregnancy, and the detection rate of gestational sac reaches 100% at 6 weeks of pregnancy. The embryo can be seen at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. The primitive heart tube pulsation can be seen when the diameter of the embryo is 2mm. The baby begins to take human shape at 8 weeks of pregnancy.

The joy of becoming a mother for the first time is really special, and the curiosity about the baby is also very strong. But don't do B-ultrasounds too often. It will have an impact if the baby is too young. It's not too late to check when the baby is seven or eight weeks old. The baby is also looking forward to coming into this world and seeing mom and dad soon. Mom and dad should also be patient and wait, and don't be too anxious about everything.
