Ultrasounds

The system to calculate a womans due date in the United States can be a little confusing. They will take the date of your last menstrual period and count forward 40 weeks to arrive at your due date. However, you are not truly pregnant for the first two weeks (and only 38 of the 40). This is why an ultrasound would show a 5 week old baby when your last period was 7 weeks ago. You will need to account time for when ovulation actually happened after your last period, time for the egg to be fertilized by the sperm, time for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus and implant (this alone can take up to 6 days or more), and then, only after implantation does your body produce the hormone hCG and mean you are "really" pregnant. All of that can take up to two weeks.

I'm at 6 week and 4 day, the fetal heartbeat was 114, and my doctor said that normal, so don't worry & get relax.

11 and a half months (a year being 52 weeks) the average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks (9 months)

Three times to set up an OB/GYN appointment: 1. You have confirmed you are pregnant, 2. You have begun to have intercourse at any age, or 3. You are 18 years old.

a had a scan yestarday and the midwife told me this is due to implantaition bleeding i was really worried she said i might said bleeding or it will just go away by the time a get another scan as i am only 6 weeks so still really early days

modern technologies that help in the control desease

The babies heart beat can be detected with a fetal Doppler as early as 5 weeks.

it is on the right hand side of your abdomen down by your pelvic bone. you may have to move it around a bit in the area until you find it. good luck!

depends on how many weeks it has being but yes when you go for a pregnancy scan

yes! i went in for an ultrasound and thought i was 7 weeks and having a miscarriage. The ultrasound showed no embryo only a yoke sac. I went to my regular doctor the next week and it was there and i was 7 weeks on that day. so just wait it out!

It depends. My baby died at 8 weeks and I found out at 12 weeks through an ultrasound, and it was removed by D&C

From the first time the hearbeat is heard/seen it will be between 120 and 160.

Hi... my friend went through this previously. She took a home pregnancy test, it was positive. When she went in for an ultrasound, they said there was no baby in there, only a sac. She thought that they were crazy, so she got a 2nd opinion...same thing. The doctor told her it would pass naturally. But beware... when she called me and she was passing it, I rushed to her house and she was completely incoherent and had lost way too much blood. I called an ambulance and they took her in for surgery. All I can say, is while yes it is weird it is also possible, but please make sure you call someone if you suspect something unusual. This is a fairly common finding before a miscarriage. The embryo does not develop so the placenta is miscarried.

Certainly. In fact, most liquids are considered allowable during a fast. Health complications can be cause fairly quickly if one doesn't maintian hydration at a safe level.

There are two answers to this - one good and one bad. The most probable answer is that you miscalculated and you are actually 5 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately there is a possibility that you did fall pregnant 9 weeks ago and that the pregnancy will not progress. It is possible that either the fetus is not developing, or that the fetus has died which usually means the gestational sac will shrink and appear to be not as advanced as you are.

My wife told her doctor she didn't know when her last mp was, so he sent her for an ultrasound! She lied, we just wanted 2 get an early ultrasound, and it was exact 2 the day and that was at 5 weeks 4 days! Our 1st baby measured within 5 days thru the entire pregnancy, and that was as early as 8 weeks and as late as 26!

Hi hon If you see your doctor on a regular basis I am sure everything will be just fine. I suggest you educate yourself off the web regarding how to care for yourself and your baby as well as child birth. You didn't mention parents, but it's OK to either have them with you during labor, or an aunt or just a good friend. Have someone there for you! Get going to your doctor, have a list of questions to ask him/her and they will make you feel a whole lot better. To get your information please go to: www.google.com ASK: Things to know about being pregnant. The more you learn the less fearful you will be. Good luck hon Merry Christmas Marcy it is higher then normal and thers a higher risk for low birth weight with means theres double the chance of the baby dieing within the first year but if u eat healthy and do what ur supposed to then i think u'll be ok

No, radio antennas only pick up electromagnetic waves. Ultrasound is mechanical pressure waves, you need a microphone to pick them up.

It is the same for any other pregnancy. Abortion does not change the randomness of identical twins or the familiar tendency to have fraternal twins.

ultrasound is used for scanning e.g. pregnant womens to check if the feotus is growing in better health

No, ultrasonic wave do not travel at all in a vacuum.

I am sorry but the sonogram is probably correct.

both are.. but at 34 weeks the baby is bigger and at 18 weeks the baby is moving and turning inside your stomach and its beautiful to be able to see it and you can also see what you are having at 18 weeks if the baby legs aren't close together...congrat and best of luck
