Yes. The obstetrician can use the images from the ultrasound screening to date a pregnancy. The size of the fetus, placenta, and/or your uterus are some of the factors used to determine how far along you are in your pregnancy. However, scans performed earlier on in the pregnancy are generally more accurate than those performed later, since in the later part of pregnancy the measurements could be affected by growth variations and may not correctly reflect the fetal age.

Can an ultrasound do any harm to a pregnant female dog?

An ultrasound is a common procedure that is often performed in pregnant dogs. It can detect as help determine pregnancy as early as 18 days after ovulation and around day 23 it is possible to hear the puppy's heart beats. The ultrasound is harmless and many prefer it to x-rays.


How far along in pregnancy are you after your first missed period?

Well, that is something that an ultrasound will have to determine. The theory is that you are pregnant (conception has occurred) sometime after your last period. Conception doesn't necessarily occur the moment that the man ejaculates his sperm into the vagina. So, yes, you did become pregnant somewhere between when you had sex after your last period, but before you realized that you were late in getting your period. This has to be discovered by the ultrasound, to determine the EDD (estimated due date).

How long after a woman is pregnant can she find out what gender baby she is having?

A woman can have an ultrasound to determine the baby's sex as early as 15 weeks. However, an ultrasound is not 100% accurate - the only way to be 100% accurate is to have an amniocentesis, which is a risky procedure that a doctor won't perform just to determine the baby's sex.
