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.

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.

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.

At week 30, your baby is about 15 1/2 inches long and weighs around three pounds. The folds and wrinkles are developing in your baby's brain this week! Red-blood-cells are under complete control of your baby's bone marrow by week 30. Your baby's eyes are now open when he is awake!

A fedus at 8 weeks would probably be not so big but formed with fingers, a head, leggs. They still Do'nt have a brain though! A fedus at 8 weeks would probably be not so big but formed with fingers, a head, leggs. They still Do'nt have a brain though!

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.

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.

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.

The fetal heartbeat can be heard with a fetal scope between 22 and 24 weeks.

Most home use fetal dopplers can detect the heartbeat at 12-15 weeks.

Clinical level fetal doppler machines that your doctor uses can usually hear the heartbeat between 6-8 weeks.

if the baby is in the right position a sonographer can usually tell what the sex is at your 22 week sonogram. they say if you carry the baby high it is a girl and if you carry a baby low it is a boy. that was how it was for me , but i wouldn't rely on it. with my son i carried really low and all out front and with my daughter i carried high and wide( she is the reason i now have love handles) also alot of women "just know". trust your instincts!!!!

Infrasound is sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second, the normal limit of human hearing. Ultrasonic waves have frequencies above the audible range at around 20 kHz. Audible sound is within human hearing range.

i would love to know the answer to that 1 to because i had a scan at about 5 weeks and what you could see was the sack and a hollow circle at the side of the womb ive got to go back tomorrow to see if the baby has been developing

A highly-regarded method for treating soft tissue injuries; it is also a general pain reliever. It is achieved through the use of high-frequency sound waves, which vibrate the surrounding tissue of the problem area.

This is not going to be much comfort- I experienced a simiar episode and am now at 5.5 weeks with a repeat episode. My last pregnancy my levels were 3400 ish and only increased to 4700 ish someweeks later. I was told that levels that do not double at least every 72 hours are not promising. ometimes At 5 weeks and almost always by 6 weeks you should see a gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole with electrical activity about 80 to 125 beats. That's what I remember from my Drs apt. There are others with positive outcomes. at 6 weeks the levels can range from 200 to 150000. Good luck I m hoping it works out for you. The waiting is hard I know. God bless.

EDC stands for Estimated Date of CONFINEMENT, not conception. Of course it could be wrong. It is just an estimate. If it is from a doctor, be sure to take it into consideration, though. It may not be perfect, but a medical expert's advice is always best to follow. An ultrasound will give you a more accurate date if you are unsure of your last period.

If the baby is a few months old (or younger), you may see a pulse on the top of the head at the 'soft spot', where the bones of the fontanel haven't yet sealed together after delivery. All babies are born with their skulls incompletely fused (to allow their heads to pass through the birth canal), but after several months (or more) the skull should close completely.

If you are concerned it is best to see a pediatrician.

I believe it means that they have only seen one sac--as in one embryo...not twins.

At 10 weeks, the baby doesn't look like much, but you can usually see a little ball with a little body and nubs for arms and legs. If you look up 10 week ultrasounds in Google, then you should see a little better example.

A pelvic exam can't determine if you have had sexual contact. It can tell if your hymen is intact, but that doesn't dtermine if you've had sex.

i had an ultrasound when i was 6 weeks pregnant, but by ultrasound, the pregnancy measured to be 5 weeks, so no fetal pole was seen yet. i think the earliest fetal poles can be seen is about 6 1/2 - 7 weeks. hope this helps :)

Talk with your doctor about any sort of precautionary things they would like for you to keep in mind before conducting a thyroid ultrasound. Typically you can go about your daily routine before the ultrasound, which includes eating. But again, make sure to consult your physician if you have any questions.

There is the possibility that you ovulated late, which would make you appear to be behind where you should be for dates.
