Ultrasound uses sound wave frequencies much in the same manner as a bat uses sound to navigate or how naval vessels use sonar to provide information concerning the water depths beneath them.

A sonogram is a noninvasive process being used on a body (includes human & animals). Bone, flesh, fluids, & even foreign bodies return the frequency at different strengths. A sonograph is a visual representative product of such a process & can reveal abnormal conditions. Or in the case of pregnancy, display the developing fetus(es) without the potential complications of radiation exposure associated with using X-rays.

Is it possible to still be having twins after a 9 week ultrasound shows one baby and one heartbeat My stomache is really large to be just 3 months?

At 9 weeks a scan would have shown if you were having twins. Are you sure you are not just eating too much? I had twins and wasn't even showing at 3 months. Some women can hardly look pregnant right up until the 9th month, while others could sit a dinner plate on their tummy. It's doubtful you are having twins, but, you are obviously retaining a great deal of fluid (embryo fluid) and once you've had the baby it won't take that long to get back to somewhat of a normal state. Congratulations!

How accurate is 10 and 12 week ultrasound had 2 that coincided with each other the 10 week 2 weeks later the 12 week and they added up can ultrasounds be off by 4-5weeks?

I have been doing a lot of research on the early ultrasounds. I have a 4 1/2 year old, she was born a day before her given due date. I had an early scan with her. I am now 25 weeks pregnant. I had an 8 week scan and from my research i have gathered that the early ultrasounds are very accurate. there is no mistake between a 7, 8, 9 10, week fetus. They all grow at the same rate until around 12 weeks or more. The best way to tell if your due date is accurate is to see how the dates match up with later ultrasounds. I had one at 8 weeks, 10 weeks and 19 weeks. My due dates added up within +/- 3 or 4 days. I was told that based on my 8 weeks scan i was due august 12th and i conceived on the 20th of November GIVE OR TAKE 3 DAYS. all of my dates have added up so far so i would trust the early scan you had. The only reason a scan might be off considerably would be due to an abnormality or a problem with the babys growth development. I would have to say that no, an early scan would never be off by 4 to 5 weeks unless the baby had died and it was a missed miscarriage but that would be very noticeable as well. so i would say it is almost impossible for a scan to be off by that much, I'm sure it has happened though! life is funny that way. I hope this helped
