Srdíčko těhotenství: Co znamená a kdy se objevuje

When you hear the srdíčko těhotenství, první slyšitelný tep srdce plodu během ultrazvukového vyšetření. Also known as srdcové tepy, it is the first real sign that life is developing inside you — not just a line on a test, but a beating heart. This isn’t just a medical detail. It’s the moment many women remember for the rest of their lives.

The first time you hear it usually happens between 6 and 8 weeks of pregnancy, depending on the equipment and your body. Some clinics can pick it up as early as 5.5 weeks with a vaginal ultrasound, while others wait until 7 or 8 weeks using an abdominal scan. If you don’t hear it at 6 weeks, don’t panic. It’s not a failure — it’s often just too early. Many healthy pregnancies show a heartbeat only a week or two later. What matters is the pattern: a steady rhythm between 110 and 160 beats per minute. Anything outside this range doesn’t always mean trouble, but it does mean your doctor will watch closer.

This sound isn’t just emotional — it’s diagnostic. The presence of a heartbeat reduces the risk of miscarriage dramatically. If you’ve had a previous loss, hearing the heartbeat can bring relief you didn’t know you needed. But even if this is your first pregnancy, this moment connects you to your baby in a way words can’t. You’re no longer waiting — you’re listening. And that changes everything.

What you’ll find in the posts below are practical guides on when to get your first ultrasound, what happens during it, and how to interpret what you hear. You’ll also learn about other early signs of pregnancy, what to expect if the heartbeat isn’t there yet, and how hormonal changes or previous miscarriages might affect your timeline. There are tips on preparing for your scan, what questions to ask your doctor, and why some women hear it sooner than others. All of this is based on real experiences and medical facts — no fluff, no fear-mongering.
