5 week scan - what to expect?

Hi I have my first scan on Friday which I work out to be 5 weeks pregnant. Just wondering what I can expect from it? Will I be able to see anything other than a black dot? Will I be able to hear a heartbeat? Will they give me a due date? Any advice on what to expect would be appreciated as would like to go with my expectations set and not be disappointed if there's no heartbeat yet etc!

They usually say about 6 weeks to see the heartbeat but they might be able to check if there’s a sac and fetal pole x
