What exactly is a heartbeat ultrasound?

A heartbeat ultrasound is a quick 5-8 minute, 2D ultrasound that listens for the baby’s heartbeat! It is a non-diagnostic ultrasound to give Mom peace of mind and another way to confirm pregnancy.

As soon as you hit the 8 week mark we can schedule your 2D heartbeat scan. Even early in your pregnancy it is essential that you are very hydrated, and dealing with as less stress as possible.

The purpose of the ultrasound is to see your little baby making a few quick spontaneous movements and listen to its powerful heartbeat. The typical heart rate at 8 weeks is usually around 150 to 170 times per minute. This is almost twice as fast as your heart rate. There is a lot of growth happening during the 8th week! Your baby is about .04 oz and the size of a raspberry.
