Many don't see a fetal heartbeat until 6 weeks, so try to be patient. It might just be too early.

I agree with Kjens, it could be too early just yet.

Your twins could be slightly different ages if they are fraternal twins.  

I agree with the others - it just may be too early for the one to have a beating heart.

Many congrats @Missmorton87! How is your doctor able to know you're expecting twins at 5wks? I'd assume nothing at this stage and just enjoy the pregnancy until you go for an early scan at 7-8wks, or wait for a proper scan at 12wks. Please don't overwork or stress over nothing, you'll be fine. Sending you and your pregnancy lots of love and prayers x
