Fetal development at 8 weeks

Common Questions and Answers about Fetal development at 8 weeks

fetal-development

My doctor said get a scan 8 or 9 weeks as earlier you may not see anything and can freak you out

I measured where I should have, at about 8 weeks now where as last week they had told me I was off on my dates by two weeks. So I thought I should post my situation for all you soon-to-be mothers who are waiting to hear the heart beat - just because you don't see it this week, don't go crazy with anxiety! They say all embryo's develop at the same rate until the second trimester, but not always or at least not in my situation . . .

I went in for my check up @8 weeks 1 day based on my lmp.Doc couldn't detect my baby heart beat.My fetal pole & yolk sac are seen but the fetal pole measured at 6 Weeks 2 days. Doc suggested that it may be early pregnancy & asked to come back again in a week.I'm still having nausea, breast tenderness everyday. Anyone here have not seen the baby heart beat at 8 weeks but gotten a good news?

I was just wondering cause a friend of mine is 12 weeks and said they told her there were girl parts today at her ultrasound. I think that's way too early to tell so I was just wondering.

The physiologic processes in early fetal development, such as protein activity, are temperature sensitive, and the entire fetal development process hinges on the right proteins getting turned on at the right time. If your body goes from 98.6 degrees to 103 degrees, it could keep the proteins from working properly and cause you to have a miscarriage.

In other words, if the embryo is 10 weeks 3 days (did the doctor say this or did you compute it from the size?) why would the pregnancy only be in its 8th week?

i went for an u/s at 8 weeks and they were a bit concerned that the embryo was the size of a 7 wk embryo and the sac looks a little small, but there is a heartbeat!!. the docs don't think the conception date is wrong by a week because we used insemination and they manipulated my ovulation. they told me to come back in a few weeks to do another check. any thoughts????

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...

Im aldo measuring behind and they are monitoring fetal development.... (I'm 27 werks)... they don't do that for everybody..BUT since this time around I have lakes of blood in my placenta and high blood pressure (both are associated with low birth weight) they want to make sure my baby girl is growing at the rate she should be... ive measured 5 days smaller from the beginning...

On the ultrasound they didnt find an embryo and no gestational sac and the dr told me that i was not 8 weeks according to my hcg levels which were 1059 im 4-5 weeks..i kept on telling them my last period was march 19 im so confused and worried how can i be 4-5 weeks has anyone ever experienced something similar?

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.

That's how I saw it too but they told me that there isn't exactly 4 weeks in every month and if I based my self by that at the end I might think I'm more than 9 months pregnant.

I have my 2nd ultrasound wendsday may 9th to see if there a heartbeat should be right at 8 wks for those who have been following my post u know I had one at 6ks and tjere wasnt a fetal pole so im praying

The doctor said that the fetal pole and other parts may appear within next 3 weeks. But i am little bit worried. Note: I have a history of irregular periods. My Last period was on 26th march 2009. Will everything in this pregnancy be normal?
