What week do you stop vaginal ultrasounds ? At your first appointment do you get to hear the heartbeat? Do they give you the ultrasound pictures or do you have to ask/pay for them?

Having my first ultrasound at 9 weeks 5 days and just wondering how it will go, will I get to hear the babies heartbeat or just see it on ultrasound? Are they going to do a normal ultrasound or vaginal? Will they give me the pictures or do I need to ask for them? Will I be paying for them?
