Ultrasounds are not invasive at all and will not harm you or your baby. If your baby measures 7 weeks but you think you are 9 weeks it could be a number of things. First off, every baby grows at their own pace and 2 weeks won't make much of a difference in the end. Also, it's not exact science. You can only guess when your egg was fertilized. There is no way to be sure the exact date of implantation. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure your baby is healthy. Just take the best care of yourself and it should stay that way.
I had this same thing happen to me yesterday and i was wondering the same thing. they said our baby was 8 weeks 4 days and was perfect but there was another empty sac. is there a way for the baby to be hiding and the ultrasound to not pick it up? if anyone answers this question please e-mail me at laceybug02@hotmail.com thank you.
How long can it take for a baby's heartbeat to show on a sonogram?
I am not sure of the whole story as I am going through a waiting game myself right now. But my dh came home the other night and told me not to worry because a guy he works with said they couldn't find their baby's hb until 10 weeks. She is 8 months old now.
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.
What does cephalic means in ultrasound?
It simply means that the head is the presenting part. It can be LOA and ROA.
Do ultrasounds give you spotting?
If it was a vaginal ultrasound then yes it could give you some spotting.
What parts of the body can be imaged by ultrasound?
the left side of the body can be imaged by ultrasound in a sonogram.
Im pregnant with your 3rd child is it normal to be showing at 6 weeks?
According to my OB, he said with each pregnancy you show faster because your uterus is bigger after each child.
It wont show on an upper abdominal ultrasound. Most times you have to have an internal ultrasound to determine early pregnancy.
Is there any signs on an ultrasound scan to show the sex of your baby?
Is there any signs on an ultrasound scane to show the sex of baby
what was her age anyways?? One thing you need to realise with ultrasounds and determining the age of the fetus is the size of the fetus.
Either their dates are correct and your friend fell pregnant after the 15th or she fell pregnant around the 15th and the size of the fetus is a little smaller than average at that age and they are going by that.
Get me? ultrasounds are not accurate, especially very early in the pregnancy.
So they are saying she fell pregnant around sept 28 because of the size of the fetus and the average a fetus is at that age.
Hope this helps.
Your baby is measuring 4 weeks bigger.?
My baby is measuring 4 weeks bigger....?So i had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and it gave me a due date of nov 1st..second one was 11 weeks and gave me a due date of 10/29, 19 weeks gave me a due date of 10/24....every other one since then I've measured 4 weeks ahead on ultrasound each time:(....and to add to that my ultrasound says the baby weighs 9 pounds already.. I was not a big baby, and my husband was not either.. (i was 6.5 pounds he was 7. 51/2) he is 5'9 and I'm 5'7 so why are we having a huge baby..anyone else with no history of big babies, but having them....THANK YOU..oh PS i tested negative for g.d twice but have polyhydramnios... I WAS TRYING TO ADD THIS TO THE QUESTION BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET ME:(
Does a heartbeat at 172 beats per minute at 11 weeks mean it is a girl?
No. It could be a boy or a girl.
An ultrasound is this thing where they put stuff on your stommach
and the reflections of high-frequency sound waves construct an image
of a body organ, observe fetal growth, or study bodily organs.
Fetal frowth is a baby.
so you can go and get an ultrasound that will show you the baby your carrying.
unless you really meant altrasound,
but that's not a word.
ahah, I hope i helped you out. =]
Why do guys like to hear a girls heartbeat?
Because they want to know how a girl's heart would beat for them.
If you double the frequency of an ultrasound wavewhat happens to the depth of penetration?
Does it increase, decrease, double or stay the same.
When should you first see your gynecologist with your pregnancy?
As soon as you find out that you are pregnant, you should call your ob-gyn or health care provider if you don't have an ob. Most doctors will want to see you around 8 - 10 weeks if you are having a "normal" pregnancy (i.e. no fertility drugs, low risk, no bleeding/cramping). If you aren't taking a prenatal vitamin already, your doctor will make sure you start - you need extra folate when you are pregnant to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
Anyone have twins after singleton ultrasounds?
Yes, it's quite common, particularly in early stages of pregnancy because one twin can be behind the other
I am 18 weeks pregnant would I be able to find out my baby's gender?
Yes, they say it is best to wait until 20 weeks...but I have had my doctor tell me at 15 weeks
Don't forget that such results are sometimes proved to be wrong, especially if taken at such an early stage.
How many ultra sounds does tricare cover?
One at 20 weeks to determine health and exact gestational age of baby.
There are other instances that Tricare will also cover. Those specific situations is covered here at their website. https://www.hnfs.net/common/benefits/ultrasound_policy_040106.htm
The above statement is false. Tricare only covers ultra sounds if there is an issue. Tricare will make you pay for it if it is just a routine ultra sound.
