The baby will not be seen in the early weeks until it is big enough to be detected. Often the baby is younger than dates suggest especially if you have a longer than usual cycle and so will not show up until later than anticipated.

Do you mean can a baby be hidden in an ultrasound? if so, read my answer: yep....my sister was pregnant with twins but did not find out until she was seven months pregnant. All along it was assumed that she was only expecting one baby, until a routine ultrasound check up was done during a prenatal appt and the Nurse (not Doctor) saw more than one baby. Imagine the shock? Doctor missed the 2nd baby all along.

Very, very early - possibly. After a week or so, no. Not if the machine and tech are both competent.

Is it possible not to detect a 3 month pregnancy on ultrasound?

It is absolutely impossible not to see SOMETHING on an ultrasound at 3 months pregnant. Pregnancies are most commonly confirmed without question at around 8 weeks pregnant. So, given the ultrasound is done by a qualified technician, there is no way you could miss a pregnancy that is 3 months along.

Can an ultrasound miss an 8 week pregnancy?

It is possible that your health care provider will be able to detect your pregnancy on an ultrasound as early as your fifth or sixth week of pregnancy. However, the sac containing your baby and its heart is so small at this stage that it will probably be difficult to detect. Sometime around the 8th week of pregnancy is the best time to start being able to see your baby on an ultrasound.

27 weeks pregnant with twins is it possible to find another baby?

I suppose it's possible but unlikely with the sophisticated equipment now to detect and monitor foetal movement etc. The ultrasound is unlikely to miss a baby now particularly at this stage.


If you are 11 weeks pregnant and had a ultrasound and saw nothing on the ultrasound does it mean you are going to miss carry?

The first trimester of a pregnancy lasts up until week 12. If you are 11 weeks pregnant and you have a competent sonographer, there is NO WAY you could miss seeing an intrauterine pregnancy (a normal pregnancy inside the uterus). If you had an ultrasound and the sonographer didn't see anything (even as early as 5 or 6 weeks you should see a gestational sac) then you have probably miscarried already. Take another pregnancy test with your doctor's guidance. Another scenario that might come up (if your pregnancy test is still positive) is that you might have an ectopic pregnancy (where the egg implanted OUTSIDE of the uterus). This is fairly common but can be a serious disorder. The egg can implant anywhere in the pelvis or abdomen, but if you're 11 weeks along and you're not in a lot of pain, then that's probably unlikely. Go back and talk to your doctor.
