What if you had an ultrasound done and they said you were having twins then you had another one somewhere else and they didn't see twins what does that mean?

two babies not be visible due to the way a baby is lying in the uterus so each is not detected each time an ultrasound is done. an accurate way is hearing two heartbeats at the same time of taking the mother's pulse to make sure that one of the pulses is not the same as the mother.

If your doctor said you were 20 weeks and 4 days at your 20 week scan 10 weeks ago how accurate is that guess You had sex with 2 men 3 weeks apart so are you 30 or 33 weeks?

How early can you tell if your having triplets?

Your first ultrasound scan should tell you. If you have an early scan for dating two sacs can be seen, then of course later on two fetuses can be seen. 17 years ago when I had mine (and nowadays if you are not having any tests) the practice was for the first scan to be at 18-20 weeks. I had seen my family doctor when I was 14 weeks pregnant and I was already feeling movements and was bigger than I should be. As a midwife I knew what that meant. Doctor dismissed my thoughts, so I took great delight going for my next visit after the scan with 'I told you so'.

Technically, the conditions of use are provided with the ultrasound machine and must be respected.

What is the most accurate way to determine how much fence you will need for your yard?

I recently replaced the entire backyard fence at my home. To determine an accurate linear footage, measure the perimeter of the area to be fenced. Fence posts for both wood and chain link fences are placed eight feet apart. Don't forget to add one extra at the start of the fence and on both sides of any gate. Determine the number of gates into the fenced area.

Any reputable fence contractor will provide an on-site estimate ,at no charge, of linear footage, materials required including (gates, posts, staining, old fence haul-off), and installation costs separately in writing. I created my own estimate to test against and better understand vendor estimates. I spoke with 4 vendors. My experience shows that costs roughly run half for labor, half for materials. The arduousness of the job helped justify for me the cost of labor.

The crew took 2 days to erect a galvanized post, 2x4 treated lumber supporting overlapping cedar fence, complete with two gates. I stained it and saved $200. Were I to do it again, I'd let them stain it

Can you have transvaginal ultrasound while you have your period?

Yes, one can be completed while you have a period. I was rushed to the ER last week due to severe menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, and passing large clots. A transvaginal ultrasound was done without any problem, even though I was bleeding heavily. It was not painful or as horrible as I imagined it to be. The technician I had was very kind and supportive, which made all the difference.

Why can you hear your heartbeat and feel it more when pregnant?
