yes, you can see the heartbeat on an ultrasound.
This procedure, however, cannot detect biochemical or chromosomal alterations in the fetus.
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!
You must go for a second opinion. When the fetal heartbeat is present there must be a fetus. Sometimes a woman can have an ectopic pregnancy and the fetal heartbeat can be heard, but the fetus is not in utero. It is in the fallopian tube. This is a serious condition so you should definitely get a second ultra sound. ASAP!!!
can a 5 week fetus show on an ultrasound
You could see a heartbeat if they do a transvaginal ultrasound.
No. The fetus is so small at that point sometimes it is hard to detect the heartbeat to hear it.
Polydactyly can be diagnosed by external observation, x ray, and fetal sonogram
The size of the fetus, to detect multiple or ectopic pregnancy, to confirm the fetus is alive, to confirm the due date, reveal defects in fetus, to check the placenta, position of the fetus, growth of the fetus.
can listen for the fetal heartbeat with a stethoscope, use Doppler ultrasound to detect the heartbeat, or give the mother an electronic fetal nonstress test. In this test, the mother lies on her back with electronic monitors attached to her abdomen.
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
Repeat the ultrasound. Tests fail all the time, so get the ultrasound done again.It could just be the position of the fetus causing interference. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Try not to stress (easy to say I know).
Doppler ultrasonography can detect the direction, velocity, and turbulence of blood flow. It is frequently used to detect problems with heart valves or to measure blood flow through the arteries.
