The embryonic heart starts beating 22 days after conception
Generally you wont hear a fetal heart beat till about week16. The uterus is above the symphysis pubis(the pubic area) at 16 weeks.
week # 10==================== Using a Doppler ultrasound, the fetal heart can be detected at around the 6th - 7th week of pregnancy these days.
At 5 weeks 5 days I had no fetal pole detected, just an empty sac. I had the same at 7.0 weeks. However, at 7.5 days a fetal pole and heartbeat could be seen. From talking to friends during the "waiting" time, it appears that most women do not see a fetal pole until about 6 weeks minimum.
If the heartbeat is not visible at 11 weeks on an ultrasound, that would be cause for concern. The fetal heart begins beating approx. 22 days after implantation into the uterine lining. An ultrasound done at 6 weeks will confirm a viable pregnancy and you would be able to see the heart beating.
No. At five weeks your baby has just developed a heart beat. 4 months is about the earliest you will probably feel in fetal movement. Here is what your baby looks like at five weeks: * http://3dpregnancy.parentsconnect.com/calendar/5-weeks-pregnant.html
I'm at 33 weeks, and my baby's heart has had a black spot on it since i was 24 weeks.. trying to find an answer?!?! i go for level 2 u/s in 10 days.
The fetal heartbeat can be heard with a fetal scope between 22 and 24 weeks. Most home use fetal dopplers can detect the heartbeat at 12-15 weeks. Clinical level fetal doppler machines that your doctor uses can usually hear the heartbeat between 6-8 weeks.
When I was 5 wks 5 days my baby's heartbeat was only 82 bpm. I am 11 wks now and the hb is 188! All babies heartbeats start out slow and get faster from there.
Don't know for sure. We just had ours measured at 8 weeks 0 days, and it was 168. Web using Google seems to imply that fetal heart rate peaks at 9 weeks of development, and 179 isn't way too high. But you should do the search yourself. I used this search: heart rate week fetal OR fetus One source says: "Beginning at a rate near the mother's, at approximately 80-85 B/M at the start of the 5th week, the heart rate accelerates to a mean of 175 B/M (+/-20 = 2SD) at 9.2 LMP weeks. It then abruptly begins to decelerate. This increase is approximately 10 beats every 3 days until the early 9th week." Note that LMP = last missed period; meaning, the conventional measurement of gestational age. Another source says "Normal heart rate at 6 weeks is 90-113 bpm and at 9 weeks is 144-170 bpm." So...it's hard to say. Sounds like it's not way to high to me. BUT ASK YOUR DOCTOR.
I saw my baby's heart beat via ultrasound at 14 weeks and 3 days
Hi, I had scan a week back.And at that time i was 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant and the tech showed me the heart beat of the baby.I don't have a scientific answer but i replied based on the experience.I .But it depends on individual.
The fetal heart begins beating around the 5th week of development. You can hear it with Doppler ultrasound around week 9 or 10. You may be able to hear it with a stethoscope around week 20.
