Some babies don't move a lot. If you have some movement everything is fine.

Your home pregnancy test will usually not display a positive result until a day or two after your expected period (not a large enough hormone level in your body to be detected). You may just be stressing yourself out (that is why you are not sleeping/depressed). Best of luck to you.

With my first pregnancy I took a hpt 3 days after my period was suposed to come and it was positive, but with this pregnancy the hpt's didn't show up positive until my SECOND period was a week late. Everyone is different. :)

The baby will not be seen in the early weeks until it is big enough to be detected. Often the baby is younger than dates suggest especially if you have a longer than usual cycle and so will not show up until later than anticipated.

200 for an average baby. but for a baby who just drank a big pot of coffee is 750. oh let me tell ya never give your kid coffee. they'd be bouncing of the walls more then grandma on Christmas morning after she opens her present of granny pannies.

Some people can see something at 5 or 6 weeks, but usually they can only see the gestational sac at this point. If they do see the baby, it would be very small, since it is only about as big as a grain of rice. Usually you can see the baby pretty well between 8 or 9 weeks, but it still wont really look like a baby. Usually around 10 or 11 weeks is when it actually starts looking human, but everyone is different.

It is a gel that's allows the ultrasound wand to glide smoothly over the skin.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of conditions that an ultrasound can help diagnose. If you are looking for something more specific, I will need more information to answer your question.

Just to give some clarity, ultrasound doesn't travel faster than sound. It simply resonates at a higher frequency than normal sound. Sound in a lighter atmosphere, or light travels faster than ultrasound.

it does not damage tissues with ionizing radiation. Ultrasound is also generally far better than plain x rays at distinguishing the subtle variations of soft tissue structures, and can be used in any of several modes

In a Heartbeat ended on 2001-03-25.

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

You have to go get an ultrasound and they can let you listen to the babys heart. Or you can go out and buy a fetal heart moniter so that you can listen to the babys heart whenever you want in the comfort of your own home.

Are you serious!!!!!! er NO!! would be the answer.

well... there are about 4 weeks in a month, so 20/4=5

congrats

They say around your 35th week a baby should weigh around 5 1/4 pounds....Hopefully this will help

Varies so much from baby to baby. Our baby was born at 35 weeks weighing 2.5kg which was considered a good size for this gestatation.

They are accurate within 2 or 3 days. But this does not mean that you will have the baby on your due date. Babies can be born any time between 37 and 42 weeks. That is what midwives are taught anyway. With my first my ultrasound said I was due 10 days after my period date but my husband had been away on a trip form the day after conception! Second time around the ultrasound agreed completely, and showed twins. (now 16) == Your last known period date or the date of conception is a better predictor....as all babies are different & you may have an extrememly large or an extremely small baby for it's gestational age, and when compared against babies in the "norm" the due date could be way off.

Ok so you need to find out the day, but if you count exactly nine months back you should be able to narrow down the exact day. I would say sometime time in September/ early October. If you post the date, it would be easier for me to figure out. As you haven't provided an accurate date in June, it is estimated that she conceived around 9 September - 9 October.

No an ultrasound does not hurt the baby, or the mother for that matter, at any stage. The frequency used during ultrasound is not audible to the human ear and thus does not cause any damage or discomfort to either baby or mother.

An ultrasound can help discover kidney stones. The technician will place the ultrasound wand over your kidney area and any stones that are present will be visible on the screen.

no the line is just telling you that your hormones are changing some people dont even have the line in the middle.

Most doctors will send you for your first ultrasound around 8-12 weeks depending on the doctor and your medical history.... If you are bleeding early on you may be sent at 6-7 weeks. At 11-12 weeks you can have a nuchal scan which measures the thickness of the fold at the back of the neck for Down's syndrome, you will also have dating measurements done (if not done earlier) so you know your due date and the blood tests for abnormality can be done accurately. If none of these tests are being done you may not need a scan until 17-20 weeks when a scan is done to check the baby's legs, arms, spine heart, kidneys etc are normal. You may also be able to find out the sex of the baby at this point. It is not really necessary to have a scan at all but most women do have them done if they can afford them.

Fasting for at least eight hours prior to the procedure ensures that the stomach is empty and as small as possible, and that the intestines and bowels are relatively inactive. Fasting also allows the gall bladder.

The normal heartbeat begins as an electrical impulse in the sino-atrial node (or SA node). The SA node is called the pacemaker of the heart. It is located in the R atrium, just below the entrance of the superior vena cava.
