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.

The doctors wait until 20 weeks because of 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 have booked a private scan at 10 weeks cos i seriously cant wait to find out if baby is okay. did anyone else worry in the early stages and get an early scan? i only had three weeks of mild nausea and food aversion now i feel fine at 10 weeks so i get worried something is wrong. my boobs are still tender but thats really it.
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.

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!
Choroid plexus cysts (CPC) can be an isolated finding, which confers a 1% (variable based on population studied) risk of fetal aneuploidy. The risk of aneuploidy increases to 10.5-12% if other risk factors or ultrasound findings are noted. The particular size, bilaterality, disappearance/progression or the position of the CPC, do not have any effect on the risk of aneuploidy. 44-50% of Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) cases will present with CPC, and 1.
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. The choroid plexus has the important function of producing a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid produced by the cells of the choroid plexus fills the ventricles and then flows around the brain and the spinal cord to provide a cushion of fluid around these structures.
I also had an u/s at 6 weeks where all they saw was a gestational sac (no yolk sac or fetal pole) by around 7 weeks there was a yolk sac, fetal pole and heart beat!! I think there are even women on here that have had to wait till closer to 8 weeks to see anything. My Dr. was also on the negative side, I think they feel the need to prepare you for the worst. (((HUGS))) The fact that your levels almost tripled is great! Let us know how your next appt goes!
Hi!
Yes, that is too early to see a fetal pole or cardiac activity. In ten days, you should see a nice change with development of a little "grain of rice" with a tiny flickering heart beat. I wish you the best!
Hi there
Just went for another internal ultrasound today (friday) and they found a gestasional sac and yolk sac same as on Monday but still no fetal pole. They measured me at 6 weeks 1 day today.. They said the gest sac and yolk sac had grown accordingly since Monday so that was reassuring but told me to come back in a week to see if they can find fetal pole and hbeat. I've heard all sorts of variations on when they can find hbeat anything from 6 up to 8 weeks. What do you think?
I quit smoking cigarettes and weed the minute I found out but I am concerned about fetal development since I found out after the fact. Thanks again for your insight.
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!!
OH HOW EXCITING. IM GOING FOR MY 7 WEEK ULTRASOUND ON WEDNESDAY, DONT KNOW ABOUT THE HEARTBEAT! GOOD LUCK!
I also booked an ultrasound for week 19 to look at the development of the baby to see if there are any problems they can see with the heart or other developmental issues. In my heart I know my baby is just fine, but its still scary!
What were the results of your first trimester screening?
I plan on going for a test early next week. She says since her discovery of her status in 2005, she never took HIV medication because her CD4 has been up and the hospitals are aware she is not taking medication.
Now, i haven't had any related symptom. But, about 3rd week of December (i.e approx 3.5 weeks after exposure) I had diarrhea (with blood) that lasted a week until i took Augmentin. but this is not unusual for me. Loose stool and malaria have been normal occurences for me.
I went for an ultrasound yesterday thinking I was 6 weeks and they dated me at 5 weeks 3 days. They found a gestational sac and a yolk sac but said it was too early to see a fetal pole or heartbeat. they said come back in a week. Would that this seem right?
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.
My LMP period started around 8/12. I am 41, 1st pregnancy. I've had two dr appts, results below:
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.
Has anyone ever had a sonogram and the fetal heart rate was b/w 88/90 in the early stages of ur pregnancy? I'm 6wks 2dys. If so, what was ur outcome? The doc scheduled me for another scan next week to have it rechecked.
