Ultrasounds

Yes, it is possible for gestational diabetes to not appear on an ultrasound during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is typically diagnosed through blood tests that measure blood glucose levels. Ultrasound is primarily used during pregnancy to monitor the growth and development of the baby.

That means they didn't see anything that was abnormal.

When interpreting an imaging study (xray, CT, ultrasound, or MRI, among others), sometimes a particular finding can mean different things in different clinical situations. When a radiologist comes across a finding which may mean multiple things, a radiologist says "please correlate with clinical findings" or "clinical correlation requested" to indicate the finding may mean several things in different circumstances.

For example, on a chest Xray there may be some opacities in a lung field. That, combined with the clinical information that the patient has a high fever, with yellow sputum, high white blood cell count, and is a young woman without other medical problems--then the leading suspicion is that it is an infection, likely pneumonia. On the other hand, if the clinical information is that the patient has just had minor surgery, no fever, has some shallow breaths, then it's more likely that the opacities can be due to atelectasis.

you should not have any spotting if you are pregnant, although some women do and are ok you should see a doctor if you bleed at all you should not have any spotting if you are pregnant, although some women do and are ok you should see a doctor if you bleed at all

experiments, i would think that scientist would put them in a room and emit sounds at different wave lenghs to see if they respond or if there is a change in their behaviour. but that's just a guess :) also, bats are completely blind and rely on their hearing to navigate. that's where the phrase "blind as a bat" came from.

cephalic means relating to the head usually regarding birth of a baby and the 'heads presentation

i feel my chihuahua is still has one pup she started today at 3pm how long for her to have the last pup?

A yolk sac is a precursor to a baby, usually yolk sacs are seen at 5 1/2 weeks. A fetal heart is detectable in the 6th week - that is what is a better indicator of having a baby, eventhough it is called an embryo at this point.

To confirm dates if you are unsure or to confirm a viable pregnancy if you are threatening to miscarry. However if you are sure of your dates and not miscarrying, please go to this website. http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/ultrasoundwagner.asp So much for Tom Cruise buying one to ensure the health of his baby.

Yes, a baby has a chance at surviving at 28 weeks gestation.

The size of fetus is 4 to 5 mm at 5 weeks pregnancy and about half an inch or 1.25 cm at 7 weeks of pregnancy. Fetus grows by geometrical proportion with time. So you can calculate the size of fetus at 6 weeks by mathematical calculation. Say the size be X mm at six weeks. So you have 4 mm, X mm, 25 mm in the series, So X squred equals to 4*25=100. X is equal to 10. So the size of the fetus will be 10 mm at 6 weeks.

At 6 weeks post-conception, the fetus looks like a little blob - the spinal column has started to stand out and you might make out the eye sockets starting to fold back in. Otherwise, it looks like any vertebrate fetus and is not visually identifiable as human.

My doctor is checking me at 7 weeks because it is usually detectable sometime between 6 1/2 and 7 weeks.

The heart beat should be detected on ultrasound by 7w. - but it depends on the ultrasound machine quality.

If there is no HB by 8w, the doctor will od the labs to see if the hcg levels are increasing. Good luck!

No, I'm sorry if there is no heart beat there will be no baby. By 5 weeks there should be a detectable heart beat, by 6 weeks the heart beat can be heard with a transvaginal ultra sound scan.

If you are not certain when you conceived your doctor should order a blood hCG level with a repeat in about 3 days to determine if the hCG level is rising, a sign of a healthy pregnancy or dropping - a sign of a missed miscarriage.

The cells that have formed will either be absorbed and the lining will shed (much like a heavy period) or your doctor will perform a D & C to gently remove the tissue left in the uterus.

Put a gun to your head and pull the trigger. That will effectively "exterminate" the fetus growing inside of you. I hope this answer helps...

Embryos are genotypically a boy or a girl at the time of conception. The chromosomes they inherit make them either XX(girl) or XY(boy). Because a female is XX, she will always contribute an X chromosome, but because a male has both, X and Y (XY), the male could either contribute an X chromosome or a Y chromosome.

Apparently, in infancy, it is very hard to tell

No, with a Doppler stethoscope it can be heard at approx. 8-10 weeks in a thin woman.An ultrasound machine can see the fetal heart at 6-8 weeks depending on the qualiity of the machine. The fetal heart is way to small to feel early in the pregnancy, in fact, it cannot even be felt at full term.

You probably won't feel your baby kick until around week 16 and 22, even though the baby has been moving since week 7 or 8. You may have already witnessed these movements during an ultrasound. This is often felt as a fluttering feeling or a grasshopper walking across your belly during the first movements.

I have to say if you have not m/c it is likely that the 8 week u/s just did not detect a hb. Plainly said, growth happens at an alarming rate during the first trimester and its possible that you just didn't see that heart rate at your 8wk because it wasn't ready yet. You also need to take in account the possibility of error in fetal age if you didn't know your exact ovulation or LMP.

A vaginal ultrasound can tell how far along you are. Also a blood test for HCG quants will tell also. Consult your doctor or clinic. It doesn't matter whether or not you have a vaginal ultrasound or one on the abdomen ultrasound is a very good way of seeing how far along you are in pregnancy and making sure that the fetus is developing accordingly if they see any problems in the development they will want to run more tests hope this helps you , Good Luck and God Bless!!!
