When will I be able to see my baby in ultrasound?

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello was wondering if i'm 5 weeks pregnant will you be able to see my baby in ultrasound ?

Dear Shakela: 5 weeks would be a bit early to see your baby in its full form, however you may be able to see the gestational sac or the fetal pole, that is the developing baby. You might have to wait up to 8 - 10 weeks to see your baby on ultrasound.
