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?

Best is to go at 8 weeks & above if there is no painful cramps or bleeding! That's when everything is much more clearer. You may not see anything or hear your baby's heartbeat if you go earlier and then it'll only make you worry.
