If there is no heartbeat at 12 week scan and you are sure the dates are right, unfortunetly, the baby is not viable.

Do you hear the heart beat at the 20 week scan?

The fetal heartbeat can be heard by the 12th week. You should have a Doppler scan for the heartbeat far before 20 weeks.


How common is a delayed miscarriage?

There are 250,000 miscarriages every year in the UK. 1% of them are missed or delayed miscarriages. We do not hear a lot about it but in hospitals they find it "very" common. I had a scan last week and there was no heartbeat. I had a D&C two days later. I am still recovering physically and emotionally. Apparently, the main cause is chromosomic. This type of miscarriage can happen to anyone. But, it does not mean that it will happen again and again.


Doctor found yolk sac gestational sac and fetal pole at 5 weeks 6 days but not heartbeat Is that okay?

It is probably OK. The heartbeat is usually always present by six weeks even though it isn't generally detectable at five weeks. So your scan was done at a borderline time. Sometimes babies are actually younger than the dates indicate and so there isn't cause for concern just yet. If no heartbeat was detected in a subsequent scan and if your hCG levels started to fall, that would indicate a problem.


Why would an ultrasound last week show an embryo and heartbeat and this week show a empty sac and no heartbeat?

There might be a problem with the pregnancy. Generally I would say the pregnancy is not viable if there was one there last week and now its gone. I had the same issue but waited a week to do another ultrasound and there was a baby with a heartbeat. I have no idea how common this is, but I call my little 20 month old my little angel!


Your friend should be by her date 11 weeks pregnant but went for a scan last week and they said she was 5 weeks pregnant and they cant find a heartbeat has she lost the baby?

nope, this happened to me too .. they waited about 3 weeks, tried again and found the heartbeat. It's just because the baby is working to grow, and the fetus is so tiny its hard to pinpoint where the heart is.


Can a ultrasound scan be a week out?

?????? a week out?


You are 5 weeks 6 days and you had an ultrasound for the heartbeat which was 100 The Doc wants you to come back in 1 week for another ultrasound to measure the heartbeat again Should you be worried?

No 6 weeks is very early for a scan which is most likely why he would like to see you again in a weeks time.


What does blue and pink line mean after the ultrasound Is it possible for the ultrasound to tell your baby gender?

I am not sure what you are meaning, but no I think not, you will find out the babys sex only when you are 18 weeks +, if you are living in the UK then you will find out at your 20 week scan (normality scan).


Would six week pregnancy would be aborted if no cardiae activity find in baby?

Sometimes it takes 8-9 weeks to get the heartbeat "found".


What does it mean if the ultrasound shows an empty placenta sac at 6 weeks?

I had a ultrasound scan at 7 weeks 3 days, and the pregnancy sac was visible, but my doctor could not find the fetal pole or heartbeat. He said there can be a significant amount of dvelopment from week 7 to 8, and I sm scheduled for another scan in a week's time. He said this wasn't necessarily bad news so I'll just have to wait.


What is the earliest that you should for sure hear or see the fetal heartbeat?

Hi, I had scan a week back.And at that time i was 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant and the tech showed me the heart beat of the baby.I don't have a scientific answer but i replied based on the experience.I .But it depends on individual.


Can twins be missed at 12 week scan?

Yes, it is very common for one twin to hide behind the other and be missed on the scan. That's what happened to my best friend's mum, she went for a scan suspecting she was having twins, and they told her it was one baby, when she went for her 12 week, it turned out she was actually pregnant with triplets, they hid behind each other. Keep your fingers crossed & good luck xx
