Ask your medical team, they are the ones doing the scans, they should answer your questions. Each baby is individual so answers must be individual.
at about 4 weeks they can sometimes see the gestation sac. by 5 weeks they can usually see the yolk sac. and by 6 weeks you can usually see a fetal pole, sometimes even a heartbeat
My doctor is checking me at 7 weeks because it is usually detectable sometime between 6 1/2 and 7 weeks.
ABout 5 to 6 Weeks, not much there to see really. They are tiny tiny then. God bless
Don't stress out! With my 2nd baby I had the same thing. I was convinced that I was going to miscarry. I had another ultrasound at 6 weeks and at that time all they saw was the sac, then finnaly at 8 weeks we got to see that little peanut.
I am going through exactly the same thing, I started spotting and went into the Dr. I am 9 weeks preggy, unless my dates are wrong and the baby only measured 6 weeks 1 day with no heartbeat i have to go back in on friday, i am still spotting has this happened to anyone before what was the outcome?
nothing every child grows at a different rate at a different time no worries with in a week is not a big deal
You could see a heartbeat if they do a transvaginal ultrasound.
It is probably OK. The heartbeat is usually always present by six weeks even though it isn't generally detectable at five weeks. So your scan was done at a borderline time. Sometimes babies are actually younger than the dates indicate and so there isn't cause for concern just yet. If no heartbeat was detected in a subsequent scan and if your hCG levels started to fall, that would indicate a problem.
I had an irregular shaped gestational sac. At 8 weeks I had a scan which showed that the yolk sac measured 8 weeks but the fetal pole only measured 6 weeks but there was a heart beat. I had a repeat scan 2 weeks later sadly to find that the sac had collapsed and no heart beat. I have to go for a D and C tomorrow because my body as not rejected the pregnancy.Thus in my case a irregular shaped gestational sac was not a good sign. I also had a slightly irregular shaped gestational sac first noticed at a 6 week scan with a heartbeat of 118. I had bleading with this pregnancy as well that started as a light discharge and then became a steady period. I went to the E.R. at 8 weeks and the baby's heartbeat was strong at 150. The E.R. doctor said they could not tell where the bleading was coming from, but noted again that the ultrasound showed a slightly irregular shaped gestational sac and to follow up in 1 week. Two days later, I miscarried at home. After talking to several friends that are OBGYNs, any irregularity to the gestational sac will most likely lead to a miscarriage.
This is really something you should ask your doctor and I am disgusted that you were allowed to leave without being told what this meant. I am sorry it looks as though your baby may not be developing properly.
It is possible that you may have a molar pregnancy. You should see your doctor for more information.
You will never be able to see your baby's heartbeat in your stomach. But at around 6 weeks, you can see it in your womb via ultrasound. Usually over 6 weeks it can be heard through a fetal heart monitor too.
