Obstetric ultrasound has been generally accepted as being quite safe for babies in the womb. Though small studies have shown that there may be some adverse neurological effects on the baby, no large studies have ever been performed to prove or disprove this finding.
is usually the most common procedure used to determine a baby
The 20 week ultrasound will determine if the baby is developing normally. The baby's size and the position of the umbilical cord will show. It is also possible to find out the baby's sex at 20 weeks.
it may be possible to tell the baby's gender at the 20 week ultrasound but then it just depends what position the baby is lying in.
Ultrasound therapy is commonly used to check the heartbeat of a baby inside of a pregnant woman. It can also be used for finding tumors or other strange murmurs.
Yes, it is possible at least sometimes to see the defect during an ultrasound.
If the doctor is blind and deaf. You can even hear the heartbeat at that stage.
Well, the baby can get a sex change when they get older. Or it is possible the ultrasound was wrong and it was a girl instead of a boy, or a boy instead of a girl.
Is there any signs on an ultrasound scane to show the sex of baby
No it doesn't exist then. You can see it and hear it on ultrasound around the 5-6th week.
I suppose it's possible but unlikely with the sophisticated equipment now to detect and monitor foetal movement etc. The ultrasound is unlikely to miss a baby now particularly at this stage.
It is not possible to determine the sex by ultrasound until about 19 weeks along. If you do an amniocentesis, you can normally find out around 12 weeks.
