It means that the egg was fertilized 6 weeks ago
At 11 weeks unless you are probably unable to hear the heart beat of a fetus with a standard stethoscope. You should be able to pick it up on the Ultra Sound Equipment in your Doctor's Office. Your doctor should also have other equipment that can also pick it up. Most people do not have that equipment in their homes. Your fetus should have had a beating heart for nearly six weeks now. When it started beating, only super sensitive amplifiers could pick it up. Not even ultrasound could get it. Now it is coming into the range where ultrasound can find it. You will need to see your doctor to check the ultrasound or if your doctor told you the fetus does not have a heart beat ask what to do. At about 21 weeks you should be able to hear the heart beat with a regular stethoscope.
Ultrasounds are fairly accurate - a fetus at 12 weeks is very small. A 22 week fetus is fairly large. They measure how big bones are, and the distance around the head. There is no mistaking a 12 weeker for a 22 weeker.
ABout 5 to 6 Weeks, not much there to see really. They are tiny tiny then. God bless
zero to none
One can tell how far along they are in pregnancy by having an ultrasound. An ultrasound measures the fetus and then compare that measurement to what an average fetus is. If it matches to a 3 week fetus it means that one is 3 weeks into pregnancy.
That's only a 10 day difference. The doctor may have just miscalculated the due date. Your due date is 40 weeks from the first day of your last period.
About 3 months, usually respiratory system of the baby develops at 12 weeks of age. ** The fetus's heart starts beating at five weeks gestation. Through an ultrasound you can see the ultrasound at about 6-7 weeks. With a fetal Doppler you can hear the heart beat at about 9 weeks.
It depends. My baby died at 8 weeks and I found out at 12 weeks through an ultrasound, and it was removed by D&C
Normally a fetus heartbeat is not heard until 10-12 weeks with a doplar ultrasound device. With a stethoscope somewhere around the 17-18 weeks. 6 weeks is very early to be detecting a heartbeat! Good Luck!
I understand what you are saying when you say messuring, they messure the sac and it calculates what the size is to get the age of the sac/fetus.
Yes they can. They use ultrasound.
i would ask a doctor :)
