The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.
When you are 5 weeks pregnant, your baby's heart is made up of two tiny channels called heart tubes and they're already hard at work, beating to their own drummer (it will be weeks before those beats become coordinated).
You go by the medical way of counting. I even have a book that says things like (in big letters) Sixth week and then in little letters (Fourth week since conception). All the milestones for a developing embryo are listed using the medical way of timing a pregnancy.
Hi, I'm 6 weeks pregnant at the moment and i thought everything was going find until i got a call from my hospital telling me they needed to schedule me for an earlier appointment because when reviewing my ultrasounds they saw a problem with the fetus development. does anyone have any idea what this can mean? I would really appreciate it if you can help.
I'm trying to decide weather or not to get one at 28 weeks I'm only going to have a few I had one at 8 weeks and I'm not having another until 20 weeks so I kinda want to get the 3d any thoughts? I also want to buy a fetal heart monitor any one know where they have them in stores?
The preferred time to perform targeted fetal echocardiograms is between 18 and 24 weeks gestation. That time frame usually gives good imaging windows of the fetal heart. Earlier gestational ages might have grainy, fuzzy images due to the small size of the heart. Later in gestation, the images may be shadowed by the ribs and other bones.
s, she picked up a few missed heartbeats on the doppler and suggested that we do a fetal echo. In the fetal echo, the doctor thought she saw a 2.2 mm VSD initially but she was unable to reproduce the suspected hole in subsequent images though she tried doing the scan from various angles. In all other images, the hole wasn't visible at all. She picked up one missed beat in fetal echo but said the rhythm and heartbeat were regular. Heartbeat rate- 138 bpm.
You should feel kicking between 16 and 22 weeks. Thinner women and women who have already had a baby may notice these fetal movements earlier. If you are not feeling hiccups or kicking, you may be feeling the pulse in your thumb when you place your hand on your belly.

I would be curious to know also if your placenta was at the front if you could feel your own pulse thru that...
t contain certain herbs so you really need to check the labels. According to Livestrong and babycenter sites, potentially harmful herbs in pregnancy include anise and ginger -- which could affect fetal hormones, as well as chamomile, licorice root, rosemary and sage. Protein drinks marketed for the sports crowd could contain arsenic, cadmium or lead. It also says to avoid ones that contain saccharin as it crosses the placenta.
20 mm Fetal heart rate: 164 bpm, the other one is 33,7 X 18,4 Fetal length: 16,7 mm
Yolk Sac: 5,9 mm Fetal heart rate: 166 bpm
Also embryon1 age is 10w3d but embryon 2 is 9w2d. I'm very concerned. Are those differences ok?
The next ultrasound is in 10 days and the wait is killing me.
If you break embryonic and fetal development into thirds then when you are in your 28th week the baby begins its final third of development. (Gestation is 266 days or 38 weeks of development). So either way you look at it you are in your 3rd trimester!
I'm 22 weeks, this is my 4th pregnancy...2nd baby to make it past 8 weeks. Doctors where I live don't recommend u/s before 10 weeks to detect heartbeat because they are not accurate enough.good luck...
