There is feeble faint heartbeat with fetal development, but doctors are concerned as the baby din show any progressive growth since last 1 week. Only the fetal pole has started showing more prominently. I am very worried. This is scary as i had a spontaneous abortion in only 5 weeks few months back. I wont be able to take a second blow. Request you to give some insight. I have been given a week to observe. I want it to happen.
This uses actual developmental stages to divide up a pregnancy. From LMP to 12 weeks the embryo develops all the major organs and becomes a fetus. From 12 weeks to 27 weeks the fetus continues developing and reaches viability. From 27 weeks on the fetus finishes development and prepares for delivery. Here the second trimester begins at 12w 0d and the third at 27w 0d.
by Gestation:
With this method you take the 40 weeks of gestation and divide by three.
is important to fetal lung development. The fetus gets all of its oxygen and nutrients through the placenta and umbilical cord---a process called fetal circulation.

No its not especially in the first trimester. Rapid development of babies major organs, brain and spinal cord happen in the first trimester. I hear some women have a small glass while pregnant personally I wouldnt but if you were to you should wait at least until the middle of the second trimester. Ask your doctor. It is currently not recommended that any alcohol be taken in while pregnant since FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) is not completely understood on when and how it all happens.
It depends on how early the ultrasound was done. At the very early stages of pregnancy, they're pretty accurate because in the earliest stages the baby follows a very specific development patter. But the further along you get the more inaccurate they are in their estimate. If your ultrasound was done at 6 weeks, it's probably very accurate, at 12 weeks though it could be a little off. I think they say they can be off as much as a week or so.
BUT my first ultrasound done october 27 put me at 7 weeks 3 days, putting conception around sept 19.I have 28-30 day cycles very regular. IS SEX FROM SEPT 4 WHAT GOT ME PREGNANT?? IS THE DATE TOO FAR OFF?
in the afternoon she did the ultrasound again for the heartbeat which she saying that its very low n fetal development is slow as it show that its 5 weeks 6 days n she said its not possible that our measurement is wrong so for sure its going towards miscarriage n she said we have to monitor your body till there is a heartbeat as i have no spotting or bleeding yet.
First u/s and blood test on 9/24. The u/s showed a sac and yolk but no fetal pole. HCG level 28,100. 2nd u/s on 10/6. The u/s showed a sac, yolk and now “a group of cells which is the baby” (they did not use the term “fetal pole” and I’m not sure if it is the same thing or not). But now there was no hb detected. A midwife told me there was a “100% chance” my HCG levels would come back lower. My HCG level came back at 48,100. At both appts baby termed “non viable”.
But more importantly, once she does become pregnant, low thyroid hormones will definitely impact the developing fetus. The earliest stages of fetal development is the time when it is most critical for the mother to have sufficient thyroid hormone.

I had a repeat done on 05/12/2013. That ultrasound showed a yolk sac with no fetal pole. By 05/17/2013 there was fetal pole... no heartbeat. Heartbeat was first seen 05/21/2013 (that is when I was given the due date 1/15/2014). On 07/05/2013 i had my 1st trimester screening and the CRL was 68.5 which put me at 12.6 weeks. So everything seems to add up.
The fetal heart undergoes a considerable amount of growth very early in pregnancy. 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.
Your Baby is still in the early stages of fetal development, & his or her bones/muscles are not strong enough to be noticeable quite yet. I thought maybe i had felt some around this time to but, turns out it was my own heart beating in my belly due to extra blood flow. I hate to sound discouraging :(
You will however feel them between 18-20 weeks if you are a first time mom so, you really don't have to wait much longer!! The feeling is unmistakable :) hope this helps, goodluck!
