Can a ultrasound be ten weeks off if you think your 12 weeks and ultrasound reads your 22 weeks?
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.
What instrument measures head circumference?
Usually a tape measure will do.
What are the complications for ultrasound measurements of head 36 weeks and abdomen 39 weeks 4 days in 27 year old female?
The only complication that can present would be an allergic reaction to the gel used for the ultrasound, which is very unlikely.
Is an ultrasound more accurate in dating of pregnancy especially if you do not know your LMP?
Yes, During an ultra sound they measure the length of the baby, the limbs if visible, head circumference etc.. then calculate an expected delivery date. An ultrasound is accurate to within a couple of days if done at 8 weeks. At 20 weeks it is accurate to within a week. After this babies grow at such diffeerent rates that it becomes increasingly less accurate.
Is it possible to be further along in your pregnancy than what your ultrasound says?
When they do an ultrasound, they measure the baby's head and that's how they determine how far along you are. So if your baby's head is smaller than average, then they would give you a farther due date; If it's bigger than average they would give you a closer due date. Please remember your due date is an estimated guess, not the actual date you will absolutely deliver It depends how much the difference is and at what stage you have the ultrasound. At six weeks ultrasounds are accurate to within 2-3 days, by 12 weeks they are accurate to within 4-5 days and by 20 weeks they are only accurate within 5-7 days.
I have an ultrasound scheduled on the 30th of this month if I am pregnant would they be able to see anything on the ultrasound even though it is only two weeks after ovulation?
If you were pregnant the developing embryo would be about the size of the head of a pin. The embryo is not the first sign of pregnancy found on ultrasound; the yolk sac shows up long before the embryo is visible. The yolk sac can't be seen uon ultrasound until at least four weeks after the last period.
If a level 2 sonogram is taken at 19 weeks and the head measures at 19 weeks but legs measure at 18 weeks could this mean a birth defect?
Did you ask your doctor or sonogram technician this question? I do not believe that it would indicate a birth defect. My son had short legs (and still does). I wouldn't worry, but I would ask the sonogram technician to explain. Good luck :)
What are the measures to be taken to get free from dandruff?
Pert Plus or Head & Shoulders shampoo with usually take care of it after about two weeks of use.
Is it normal not to hear a baby's heart beat at nine weeks?
Yes, by weeks six to seven there is a large bulge where the heart is and a bump for the head because the brain is developing. The heart begins to beat and can be seen beating on an ultrasound scan.
What does hc means on a sonogram?
HC on an ultrasound means Head Circumference.
How can you find out what you're having without the ultrasound?
