Ultrasounds

count backwards 96 days.

This can indicate twins, or a baby that is actually older than the dates suggest.

That it's probably too early. I would recommend a followup ultrasound at 7 weeks.

is usually the most common procedure used to determine a baby

i would say it does mean your having a little girl. my friend went for an ultrasound and the lady pointed out 3 little dots and said your having a girl !!!!!!

that is not a heartbeat of a baby. it was your heartbeat..had the same thing happen to me! that is not a heartbeat of a baby. it was your heartbeat..had the same thing happen to me!

it could cost you nothing if you can find a bursary i'm studying with a bursary and they're paying me! I don't know where you should look for it though...try google or something. I got mine through university councellors. so contact a college or university and see if they can help you

If the heartbeat is not visible at 11 weeks on an ultrasound, that would be cause for concern. The fetal heart begins beating approx. 22 days after implantation into the uterine lining. An ultrasound done at 6 weeks will confirm a viable pregnancy and you would be able to see the heart beating.

When you have a dating scan the scanner compares the size of the fetus with the size of fetuses of known gestation. The gestational age assumes that the mother has a regular 28 day cycle and got pregnant 14 days before a period. the gestational age is calculated from this notional LMP. This is accurate in about 85% of cases. If you don't know your LMP and have been given an EDD/gestational age you need to take off 2 weeks to find an estimated date of conception. this website will help you. http://www.genetree.com/about/conception-calculator.asp

The baby's heart beat can be seen on an ultrasound at around 7 weeks, and if you are very slim MAY be heard on a Doppler from 9 or 10 weeks. Here is more advice and input: * Most Heartbeats can be heard by 15/16 weeks. * My doctor wasn't able to hear my babies until I was about 3-4 months pregnant. * It is most generally possible to begin to hear the baby's heart beat at the beginning of your second trimester, however sometimes it is possible to hear it a couple of weeks before or after these dates as well. It most likely depends on the size of the baby and how quickly it is growing in each individual person. I personally heard my baby's heart beat the first time at 14 weeks with my first, 13 weeks with my second and 10 weeks pregnant with my current pregnancy. * You can start to hear the babies heartbeat through ultrasound as soon as 6 weeks into your pregnancy! A Doppler can start to pick up a heartbeat at around 10-14 weeks into your pregnancy. A stethoscope can be used to hear the baby's heartbeat late in the pregnancy. * If you have an early scan it can be seen from about 6 weeks. If listening with a Doppler and you are very slim sometimes (not always) it can be heard from about 8 weeks. A midwife listening with a Pinard can hear it from about 22-24 weeks. * You may be able to see it on an ultrasound at about 7 weeks but unless you are very thin you won't be able to hear it with a Doppler until about 10 weeks, possibly later. Until 12 weeks the uterus is still in the pelvis and the heart is very small and the machine has to be pointed directly at the heart so the sound is reflected, unlike a microphone. * I heard my baby's heart beat at almost eight weeks and it was very strong :) I think everyone is just different it depends largely on your specific pregnancy

very slightly, but not enough for you to tell on the outside. The baby's body doesn't normally begin to push the stomach out until the 3rd or 4th month.

They actually sell little Doppler's (like the one your doctor uses). They're in the baby department with the regular baby monitors at baby and department stores.

There are myths that if a woman is carrying her bump high it is a girl and if the woman is carrying low it will be a boy, however these are myths and the best way to get the sex of your baby is to have a scan. I hope this helps

I would request another ultrasound to ensure there is no viable pregnancy. Every woman is different and the dates could be off, ovulation or implantaion later than thought and with no bleeding or other signs of miscarriage I would ensure that this pregnancy is not continuing. Best of luck to you

That is a footling breech presentation.

It's not bad at all, just a little on the smaller side, they measure on a percent scale normal range is 3%-95% so your little one falls in there, no worries

High frequency sound above 20,000 Hertz, which is inaudible to humans.

Yes.

I just had a child and I had no idea when my last MP was or when around he was conceived, but if you know already how old around the fetus is, then you can get somewhat of an idea, but it won't be exact. Yes. If you count back two weeks less than the length of your pregnancy, that is approximately when you conceived. For example if your dating scan says you are 10 weeks pregnant, counting back 8 weeks will give you your approximate date of conception.

Are you using one at home? If so, they don't always pick up the heartbeat as well as the ones at the doctor's. My OB/GYN told not to use one because they aren't always very reliable and I would just get worried over nothing if I didn't hear the heartbeat.

nothing every child grows at a different rate at a different time no worries with in a week is not a big deal

6 weeks is NOT to early to show. I am 6 weeks pregnant with a definite bump. I am already not fitting into any of my work pants with my jeans becoming very uncomfortable. I had an appointment with my dr. 2 days ago she stated that "when a woman shows depends on the woman". While 6 weeks is early it is entirely possible. I am a very small women with a size 23 waist so there is very little room for anything to hide. My dr. stated that it could simply be bloating but that my uterus may sit higher then other women's causing the enlarging uterus to show. I also read the book, "what to expect when you're expecting" very good resource which, also stated that at 5 weeks some women may be showing due to the size of the woman and location of the uterus. The main message here is it depends on the woman and their body as every pregnancy, much like every woman, is different!!

POD=Pouch of Douglas, a small anatomical recess in a female's pelvis.

Not necessarily. It could mean the baby wasnt seen clearly due to the radiographers fault, the fetus being in a different position or because your not as far along as you first thought.

At 6 weeks, the baby's heartbeat can register on an ultrasound. If the Yolk sack is void of a live foetus, there will be no heartbeat. You will either sponstaniously abort this pregnancy (miscarry) or your doctor will recommend a D+C. The information above is not entirely correct. If you are off by a few days on impantation the fetal pole may not have developed yet. This is why many doctors do not like to do early ultrasounds. Fetal Poles usually develop between 5.5 weeks and 6.5 weeks. Don't give up hope yet! I just had a transvaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks gestation. The yolk sac was visible and pregnancy was confirmed but no heartbeat was detected. In a week, another ultrasound will be done to look for the fetal pole. The obstetrician noted that everything appeared normal except for not seeing the heartbeat. He noted that it was entirely possible he just couldn't see it; thus, the scheduled ultrasound at 7 weeks. Distinct changes take place in just a week and that is what your doctor will look for to determine viability. If your Hcg levels are rising appropriately and everything else appears normal, it may just be too soon to see the heartbeat. Don't give up hope yet. I haven't. Give your baby time to develop and the doctors time to be able to see it.
