Can an ultrasound tell the difference between a 23 week old fetus and a 24 week old fetus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A vaginal ultrasound can tell how far along you are. Also a blood test for HCG quants will tell also. Consult your doctor or clinic. It doesn't matter whether or not you have a vaginal ultrasound or one on the abdomen ultrasound is a very good way of seeing how far along you are in pregnancy and making sure that the fetus is developing accordingly if they see any problems in the development they will want to run more tests hope this helps you , Good Luck and God Bless!!!

How soon can you hear a baby?

Asked by Wiki User

The earliest a doctor can get a baby's heartbeat on a Doppler inside the womb is 9 weeks... any earlier and it might not be able to be heard! Hope this helps... on the flip side you should take into account your size. If you are smaller it might happen sooner and if you are larger than it may happen a little later.

If you are 8 weeks pregnant and don't detect a heartbeat at an ultrsound could the baby still be alive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's possible, though not likely. 85% of women can see the heartbeat flicker on the u/s at 5-6 weeks, although some women with a higher body mass index cannot. Do not give up hope until your HcG levels have been measured by the doc. Good luck.

Yes, I went in for an ultrasound on 09/24/09 and they told me I was 6 weeks and 4 days along. the baby's heart rate was 138bpm and I could hear it with the abdominal ultrasound and the transvaginal.

However, every pregnancy is different. Godd luck!

How soon can an ultrasound see a pregnancy sac?

Asked by Wiki User

== You can see the hearbeat at your FIRST ultrasound appointment.....it won't look like much, just a bright, very fast flutter on the screen, but alas that is your "little one"! My wife and I saw our baby's heart beat with a transvaginal probe a little less than 4 weeks after conception, which is considered 5-6 weeks gestation.

Why would baby's heart beat be 177 at 38 weeks?

Asked by Wiki User

yess my babies heartbeat was 176 at my first ultrasound. It slows down the farther along you get until its ready to beat on its own without your help after you have the baby.

14 weeks pregnant baby heart rate 165 is that good?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it's normal for a 13-14+ week baby during pregnancy to be around 160's and 170's.If you are worried about anything go see your doctor about this but if you found this information (heart beat) from you doctor and he wasn't worried about anything then nothing is wrong

good luck...

Can a unborn baby have a heartbeat at 4 weeks old?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. 6 weeks at the earliest

This answer is inaccurate. The earliest I have heard it picked up is at 5 1/2 weeks. It is very difficult to pick up on a vaginal ultrasound, and may not be an accurate heartbeat rate, but it is possible for a heartbeat to be located and heard earlier than 6 weeks.

Is it normal at 6 months pregnant for the babys heartbeat to be 168?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It might be or not som babys got different heart beats, but you need to see the doctor 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 80 Week 5 starts at 80 and ends at 103 bpm Week 6 starts at 103 and ends at 126 bpm Week 7 starts at 126 and ends at 149 bpm Week 8 starts at 149 and ends at 172 bpm At 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

Can you see the fetal pole at 7 weeks 3 days?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From my experience, the answer is MAYBE or SOMETIMES. My sister had an u/s at 6.5 weeks and they told her it was a blighted ovum. A sac, but nothing in it. She was so sad, but continued to have pregnancy symptoms, and waited until 9 weeks to have another u/s and that showed that there was a healthy, normal sized baby in there, just wasn't able to be seen for whatever reason at her previous u/s. Sometimes the uterus is tilted, so that the u/s can't view things correctly. Unfortunately, Dr's like you to think they KNOW EVERYTHING, so they rarely tell you that "Everything may be just fine, we may just not be able to see it yet." Check out a website called misdiagnosedmiscarriage. You'll find a lot of information.

What are the chances of the baby still being alive if your ultrasound shows you at 5.5 weeks and according to your last period you should be at 7 weeks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Baby is fine. The Ultrasound is more accurate at estimating your term at 5.5 weeks, since you may not have gotten pregnant just after your period. The estimate of weeks is based on the baby's size and development. Unless the technician stated otherwise, the baby is fine. Actually, predicting the exact date of conception and birth is not an exact science, and can't be, since there are other factors that go into gestation.

Why fetus die at 8 weeks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fetal demise can occur and at any gestational age, and even after an autopsy is preformed some parents never get the answer they desperately need. Sometimes it's related to umbilical cord accidents, other times it may be genetics. However the majority of fetal demise or stillbirths are never fully understood. Please support research for stillbirth and sudden infant death.

Can an ultrasound miss an 8 week pregnancy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is possible that your health care provider will be able to detect your pregnancy on an ultrasound as early as your fifth or sixth week of pregnancy. However, the sac containing your baby and its heart is so small at this stage that it will probably be difficult to detect. Sometime around the 8th week of pregnancy is the best time to start being able to see your baby on an ultrasound.

What causes the babies heart to beat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is one of the mysteries of the human body. No one knows why the celles that develop into the heart in a fetus begin to vibrate and eventually develop into the regualr heart beat, just as no one knows why other cells when put in close proximity to these cells will begin to display the same activity. It just happens is the best we can say at this time.

How much should abdominal circumference of fetus measure at 27 weeks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the person and how big the baby is and how you are carrying the baby. You could be carrying the baby towards your back or you could be carrying al forward! everybody is different. I am only 6 1/2 months and look like I am 8 months. But this is also my 4th child. Alot of women who have had children will start to show much earlier than women who are pregnant with their first!

If you are asking what the actual fetal abdominal circumference should be, as seen on ultra sound then the average is around 202 mm. It varies from fetus to fetus though and as long as growth is consistent a variation on the actual measurement is fine. The measurement is most useful when it is combined with the femur length measurement and the head circumference, although there are different schools of thought.

When can the heart beat first detected?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The human fetal heart begins beating about 22-23 days after conception. (Though the heart is not yet fully formed, cardiac muscle contractions have begun.) That's called the 5th week of pregnancy, since it's 5 weeks after the last period. The fetus at this stage is between 2 and 3 mm in size.

Sometimes it's possible to detect the heartbeat, with a Doppler instrument, almost this early, but usually the first such detection is later, around week 10, or at least by week 12. By week 21, the heart can be heard with a standard stethoscope.

How big is a fetus at 3 months?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ineresting question. I presume you mean human fetus. At 14 weeks the human fetus is leaving its first trimester.

It would nominally be about the length of an adult index finger (3.5 inches) and about 1-2 ounces. It would have discernible eyes, fingers, toes, nose ...

Can you see the fetus at an ultrasound during 5 weeks pregnancy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

my step sister had a baby and she had her first ultra sound at 2 months so yes i believe it's still early. Actually I had an Ultrasound done at 5 weeks and 5 days. They were able to see the sac, baby and pick up the heart beat at 122 bpm. So no, it it not too early to get an ultrasound.

Can a doctor hear a baby's pulse but not it's heartbeat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The doctor should be able to hear the babies heart beat with a Doppler after about 16 weeks. If you are more than 16 to 20 weeks pregnant and the doctor can not hear a heart beat then you need an ultrasound to make sure the baby is ok.
