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?

It depends. I was able to see the heartbeat at w5d6 scan. But for some you don't see that early n it's better to wait until week 8. Do start on the folic acid tablet asap if not yet started. Congratulations 🎉
