I thought I was 8 weeks pregnant but the scan shows I am 5 weeks and 1 day. Is the baby OK?

There is no fetal heartbeat.

Chances are you may have miscalculated when you ovulated, and you aren't as far along as you thought. Heartbeats are usually seen on ultrasound after 6-8 weeks.

They generally don't do ultrasounds this early because the heart doesn't beat yet. The heart actually won't be until the fetus is around 10 weeks.
