Where can I find information about pregnancy ultrasounds?

An ultrasound will show your doctor your babies body structure, heartbeat and development. Depending on the babies positioning and gestational age, you may be able to find out the sex of your baby. For more information on ultrasounds, visit http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ultrasound/MY00308


Can a vaginal ultrasound be wrong if the baby's heartbeat was heard at 7 weeks but a vaginal ultrasound at 11 weeks found no heartbeat?

In general, vaginal ultrasounds are said to be more accurate than abdominal ultrasounds. However, there are documented cases where they have been wrong, with tragic results. If a baby is no longer alive, there is a series of tests that can be done to determine this. Ultrasound is only one of them. Take care not to take hasty action. Usually the body will take care of things itself, but if you should become feverish you should seek help straight away. See the Web Link to the left for further information.

It is possible but not always accurate. No, the strength of the heartbeat depends which way the baby is laying in the uterus.


Will you miscarry if an ultrasound at 7 weeks 5 days only said 5 weeks 5 days and there was no heartbeat?

If they say you are still pregnant then you probably are. Seven weeks into the pregnancy is nothing. You have to take into consideration that they are going by your last menstural period when you could not have been pregnant so in actuality they are adding on a few weeks. Don't worry about it and try not to be stressed because stress is horrible for your unborn fetus.


Could conception have occurred three weeks earlier than 2 first trimester and 2 second trimesters ultrasounds say?

No. If four ultrasounds all give the same date then that is accurate to about 5 days. Even one first trimester ultrasound would be sufficient.
