Yes its absolutely safe to get ultrasound in pregnancy.. Also usually heart beat comes at 5 weeks but it is clearly visible only by transvaginal scan. At transabdominal scan cardiac activity s recordable between 6 to 7 weeks. Repeat an ultrasound at around 10 to 15 days from now..the heart beat should be somewhere in between 120 to 160 beats /min In the meanwhile start taking folic acid tablet 5mg Consult direct for further management
