Fetal development at week 14
Common Questions and Answers about Fetal development at week 14
fetal-development
I forget what the doctor told me but there is something very important in development around 20 weeks. They check at 20 week a to be sure it developed right. My doctor always says that the ultrasound is to make sure everything is okay not to find out what the baby is.
I can tell you, From experience that a baby's heart is fully developed by week 18, which is why doctors do fetal echos between 18-24 weeks, it's the soonest they can visualize the heart without the bones getting in the way or "shadowing" it, and also the latest for them to detect holes and other issues.
There are many cases when a baby has a hole or two early on and as the baby grows and the heart continues to grow the holes close or get smaller on their own.
Your doctor would do urine tests at seven days if he thought they were reliable. But he does a blood test at 14 days. He doesn't wait that long to torture you, he waits that long because the embryo might not even implant until day 10 or 11. Good luck, I hope everything goes perfectly, please stop testing until at least day 12, it isn't going to help.
I have been taking the pill for about 3 years. I guess Ill be taking another test soon. Thank you!
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.
And for the record I know how big the baby is and have a general understanding of fetal development never heard of "flutters" to be the baby moving it has always ment like butterflies in your stomach to me

Choroid plexus cyst
Classification and external resources
ICD-10 G93.0
ICD-9 348.0
Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are cysts that occur within choroid plexus of the brain. The brain contains pockets or spaces called ventricles with a spongy layer of cells and blood vessels called the choroid plexus. This is in the middle of the fetal brain.
i had my doctors appointment today the doc afformed me i was 6wks 3days today at the time of my first ultra sound i was approx 5wk 5days no heartbeat only yolk sak and development begfining so the doc said this was normal and heartbeats are usually detected in wk six or even wk seven the nurse tried to say there may only ever be a yolk sac and no bub but the doc and the lady who performed the ultrasound said no heartbeat or fetal pole can be normal at the early stage of five wks now im confused
3rd u/s and still no development, no fetal pole seen and i am 10 weeks now according to my LMP. Thank you all for your advise and concern, tomorrow is the DNC, i guess i knew what was coming over the last 2 weeks so i feel prepared.
I went and had an ultrasound done outside my Dr office for mother's day gift, they guarantee gender at 14 weeks.
Breathing in the Womb
Babies do not actually breathe in the womb---at least, not in the usual sense. Fetal lungs are not fully functional, and are not even able to fully expand, until after birth. During the later stages of gestation, the fetus may "practice" breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. The fetal lungs do not process the amniotic fluid, the way fully formed lungs process air, but experts believe this "breathing" is important to fetal lung development.
Usually the 5th week you will see the gestational sac but maybe no fetal pole. By week 6-7 you should see the fetal pole and if you're lucky a heartbeat. By week 8 you should get a heartbeat. So if you are only 5 weeks it sounds like your development is very good seeing both a fetal pole and hb. Did he mention what the heartrate was?? I am not sure what the "likely" fetal pole means because if there is a heartbeat then there is definitely a fetal pole there!!
