Fetal Development

Maybe the mother wasn't properly nourished during the gestation; maybe the baby just isn't that big of its own accord. There are many things that can affect a baby and even the most minor can have great effect. Talk to your doctor about it.

This information is correct. I experienced the exact same thing. The early ultrasound is exeptionally accurate in most cases and the baby should measure within 1 week of the estimated age. Your body will most likely miscarry otherwise a D&C could be recommended. The pregnancy will most likely not advance past 12 weeks.

You would then find out when you give birth to it. There are, of course, numerous "Old-wives tales," but they are not proven to work. Carrying a baby high or low in the womb, for instance, has nothing to do with the gender.

eyes develop

lips start to form

Vocal cords develop.

Yes. Drinking is bad for the fetus. It will likely cause neurological problems such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. This is a disorder that is caused by the mother consuming alcohol during pregnancy. It can cause retardation and certain characteristic physical changes. This is something that they often won't figure out until the child reaches toddler age because that is when the physical characteristics are more easily recognized.

Eventually it will be. The remains will start to decompose and you will get a infection that will spread to the blood and cause blood poisoning. You risk both sterility and life if it's not removed. You will experience discharge with a foul odor and fever and pain.

If your hormone level drops, it is the primary reason that causes a miscarriage. Most times your HCG levels declining are a sign of an impending miscarriage, your symptoms will stick around until your hormone levels drop down to pre pregnancy level (less than 5). Hormone levels during pregnancy are crucial, because they influence the growth and development of your baby.

That depends on how flat your stomach already is. If it is really flabby its going to take a lot more than a week to get a really flat stomach. If your tummy is already reasonably flat, then it might be possible to get it flat in a week. However, you are going to have to be doing a lot of working out.

That depends on which test is done. A chorionic villus sample test can determine gender around 9 weeks. An amniocentesis can also determine gender and is done between 16-20 weeks. An ultrasound is the least reliable method because it's done visually usually around 18 weeks.

Pregnancy is broken down into three trimesters. The baby develops most rapidly during the first trimester (weeks 1-13). The baby starts off as a collection of cells that develop into an embryo. At 8 weeks, the embryo is called a fetus because the baby resembles a human. At this time, all major organs and systems have been formed. During the second trimester (weeks 14-26), the organs and systems start to mature. During the third trimester (week 27-40), the baby starts to pack on the pounds.

uterus

It means that you are having flatulence or stomach filled with gas.

You could be experiencing a low amniotic fluid volume, which can throw the measurement off.

Yes it's normal

No 6 weeks is very early for a scan which is most likely why he would like to see you again in a weeks time.

He looks like a perfectly proportional baby, just really skinny and small

basically they pump blood around the body. so much more than it to that but ask a more detailed question if you want to know

It only took 5-10 minutes until my umbilical cord came out.

It is sometimes referred to as a blighted ovum. Your body will realise that the baby has not developed soon and a miscarriage will occur.

if there is still another sac it most likely means you have had a miscarriage but not always

No. It is dead with no heartbeat.

Actually it does, since an embryo has no heart. It is the mother's heart that is keeping the embryo alive. It isn't until it is a fetus until it has a heart. While its heart it not being fully used and has a hole in it that keeps it from fully working, its heart does beat.

Yes they often appear to be larger and more pronounced quite early in the pregnancy

Well, i went to get my ultrasound yesterday, and I coulndt see my baby either.

Im 15 years old, by the way. Im still struggling to figure out who is my baby daddy, because i had sex with my ex boyfriend about app. 6 weeks ago- and i had sex with my bf about 2-3 weeks ago, maybe. My ultrasound didnt show ANYTHING yet, so im kind of confused because the doctor said i have to be at least 6-8 weeks to see a baby... Dont worry tho- everything is probly alright. the fetus is probly REALLY small- TOO small to see. it also depends on the size of the mother too. You'll be okay.

If you need to talk, just messege me back or somthing

Kristen.

no because the heart isn't all the way developed yet at 7 weeks
