the y chromesome means male, the x chromesome is female. if there are 2 y's its a boy, if its an x and y it's a female.
when you go for your 12 week scan you will definitely be able to see a (very tiny) roughly baby shaped baby on the scan congratulations!
If there is no heartbeat at 12 week scan and you are sure the dates are right, unfortunetly, the baby is not viable.
They usually recommend that you wait until your 20 week scan so that they have more of a chance at determining it through ultrasound. However you can tell on some babies as early as the 12 week scan. It all depends on the babies position and how miuch water you have drank to get a clear picture.
Because it's about 12 days of conception
Absolutely not. The later in pregnancy the less accurate the scan. The first two giving a due date of October 2nd will be correct and give you a conception date of around January 9th.
Book an appointment to see you doctor!! You should probably have an ultrasound scan to see what's happening.
Either 8 to 12 hr it all depends on where u work.
Your hunch is right; the ultrasound date is based on the day your last period ended. So, on average, the 40 week pregnancy begins two weeks before conception has even occured.
The hearbeat usually heard in an ultrasound about 6 weeks, 12 weeks using fetoscope and using a regular stethoscope about 5 months.
It means 12 weeks 0 days
It is not NECESSARY to do an ultrasound at all, they have only been done for the last 25 years or so and women were having babies for thousands of years before them. Having said that..... If you are unsure of your dates or you have bleeding you may have an ultrasound for dating and to check you are not miscarrying at 6-7 weeks. There are blood tests done for genetic abnormalities and a test for Downs syndrome where the scan is done at 12-13 weeks. (this would be the 3 month scan) If everything is normal and you are not having these tests most women have a scan at 18-20 weeks as at this stage the baby is fully formed and all its systems can be checked. (This would be the 5 month scan). There are no guarantees that the scan will pick up ALL abnormalities as some just cannot be seen on a scan. You do not have to have a scan at all if you don't want to it is totally up to you if and when you have it.
Yes, it is very common for one twin to hide behind the other and be missed on the scan. That's what happened to my best friend's mum, she went for a scan suspecting she was having twins, and they told her it was one baby, when she went for her 12 week, it turned out she was actually pregnant with triplets, they hid behind each other. Keep your fingers crossed & good luck xx
