This is my first pregnancy and I have an ultrasound on Thursday they think I'm 8 weeks so that's what I'm going along with until the ultrasound when they measure the baby. Is it possible to hear the heartbeat that soon? Although I'm nervous and worried because the child's father has wished death on the baby by saying he hopes the baby is dead inside of me when we fight...he's abusive mentally and physically :( but ever since I've been worried and just hope everything is okay...any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated
