7 Weeks Scan, Can’t Hear Heartbeat

Hi Mummies, I did first scan at 7 weeks but could not hear heartbeat. Doctor said it is still early and small. However, we saw flickers on the screen. Does the flicker indicate baby’s heartbeat?

Flickering is the heart beat. My gynae did not recommend hearing the heart beat as it'll mean that he'll have to increase the ultrasound waves frequency and that is bad for the baby.
