The baby is not a foetus yet. The 12 week scans always show a foetus. Never will an 8 week scan show a foetus, the pregnancy is 9 months because it has to grow.

Hello. I can understand how worrying this must be for you when the doctor doesn't see the foetus on a 5 week scan. But please dont be worried as this is perfectly normal. A fetus usually shows up on a ultrasound when your in your 6th week of pregnancy and sometimes the foetus doesn't become clear till your in your 7th week of pregnancy.
