It is possible that your health care provider will be able to detect your pregnancy on an ultrasound as early as your fifth or sixth week of pregnancy. However, the sac containing your baby and its heart is so small at this stage that it will probably be difficult to detect. Sometime around the 8th week of pregnancy is the best time to start being able to see your baby on an ultrasound.

On an ultrasound scan, it is possible but unusual. However, it can sometimes be that if the fetus is very small, it's difficult to distinguish it from the developing placenta and the walls of the womb.

From an external point of view, a woman would not normally develop a pregnant belly this early in her pregnancy.

At this point in the pregnancy, you should still see a gestational sac. You may however not see a fetal pole or a heartbeat and that is normal for another week or so.

At which month can a ultra sound show twins?

The best and most reliable way to confirm a twin or multiple pregnancy is to see it with an ultrasound. An ultrasound is the only guaranteed way to know whether you're carring more than one baby. An ultrasound may be able to detect multiple embryos as early as your third week of pregnancy; However, the ultrasound will be most reliable at detecting a multiple or twin pregnancy at around 6 to 8 weeks.


Is it possible not to detect a 3 month pregnancy on ultrasound?

It is absolutely impossible not to see SOMETHING on an ultrasound at 3 months pregnant. Pregnancies are most commonly confirmed without question at around 8 weeks pregnant. So, given the ultrasound is done by a qualified technician, there is no way you could miss a pregnancy that is 3 months along.

If there is no heartbeat in 8 weeks pregnancy?

If there is no heartbeat by 8 weeks then you should schedule an ultrasound to make sure the baby is healthy. If you already had an ultrasound then chances are you might miscarry. There is no medical treatment to keep you from miscarrying, and it isn't your fault in anyway if that is the case so don't blame yourself and keep trying.
