When can the fetal heartbeat be heard?

Patient's question:

I am 11 weeks pregnant. Today (December 22nd), due to vaginal bleeding, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound. The doctor did not see any primitive fetal movement and said that the fetus had stopped developing. They recommended that I have surgery. Is this true? Should I wait and see for another week? This is my first pregnancy, and I really want this child!!!!

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, generally, the fetal heartbeat can be seen around 7-8 weeks of pregnancy through an ultrasound examination. There is no need to worry too much.
??????Hello, if ovulation is delayed, the fetal heartbeat may appear later. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination in one or two weeks to check if the fetal heart development is normal. Generally, doctors advise women with risk signs of prenatal examinations to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
