My doctor is checking me at 7 weeks because it is usually detectable sometime between 6 1/2 and 7 weeks.
I'm not in the medical field, but with my pregnancy at 6w 2d the technician could see the sac, but no baby. She then did an internal ultrasound, and it was then visible with a heartbeat.
By the beginning of the 9th week of pregnancy, the normal fetal heart rate is an average of 175 BPM. At this point it begins a rapid deceleration to the normal fetal heart rate for the middle of the pregnancy of about 120-180 BPM. There is also a slowing of the normal fetal heart rate in the last ten weeks of pregnancy, though the normal fetal heart rate is still about twice the normal adult's resting heart rate.
YOu really need to talk to your doctor or nurse about this as you have not said why you cannot hear a heartbeat.
I'm at 6 week and 4 day, the fetal heartbeat was 114, and my doctor said that normal, so don't worry & get relax.
Yes. I am in Allied health and we learned that a normal fetal heart beat is in the range from 120- 140
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!!!
If you are feeling movement in your belly, it is much more likely to be gas. You would not have a negative pregnancy test at the point in a pregnancy when you'd feel fetal movement. You should look for another explanation for your "pregnancy symptoms."
Physicians order an ultrasound scan to listen for a fetal heartbeat, determine a woman's precise due date and check for twins, among other uses.
If the baby's heartbeat can be heard, (around 8 weeks with a doppler) or if fetal movements can be seen. 24 weeks. A scan can also confirm pregnancy from about the time of a missed period.
no. they have their own heartbeat. if you are pregnant and go to the doctor they can put a fetal monitor on you and you will be able to hear the babys heartbeat.
I've read that it decreases to 3% after heartbeat is strong and detected at (or around) 8 weeks.
Starting at week 5 the fetal heart will accelerate at a rate of 3.3 beats per day for the next month.The fetal heart begins to beat at approximately the same rate as the mothers, which is 80 to 85 bpm. Below illustrates the approximate fetal heart rate for weeks 5 to 9, assuming a starting rate of 80Week 5 starts at 80 and ends at 103 bpmWeek 6 starts at 103 and ends at 126 bpmWeek 7 starts at 126 and ends at 149 bpmWeek 8 starts at 149 and ends at 172 bpmAt week 9 the fetal heartbeat tends to beat within a range of 155 to 195 bpm.The fetal heart rate will begin to decrease and generally will fall within the range of 120 to 160 bpm by week 12.Taken from: http://www.fetalsure.com/fetal-heart.html
Fast fetus heartbeat may mean lack of oxygen inside or fetal distress.pe your answer here...
