When to have first checkup

First time parent here. We wanted and prefer to see the heartbeat on the first checkup/scan. Today, it's 5 weeks and 2 days. The question is "is 6th week checkup enough to see the heartbeat? Or 7th is better to make sure?" What is the recommended timing?

For first time parent, suggest week 7 or earlier. cause I had experience bleeding the week before and went for doc checkup. turn out need injection and bed rest. baby was fine.
