Question 1

how accurate are ultrasounds at 12 weeks. is it possible to be twelve weeks pregnant and bby measure at 14 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: The earlier an ultrasound is performed in pregnancy, the more accurate is the dating. The due date likely won't be changed if mom is sure about her last period and the dates aren't more than 2 weeks different at that stage

Question 2

why did my fetus die in less then a week i was 14 weeks pregnant? i just went to the doctor last week  i had a sonogram and the baby had an amazing heart beat and this week the fetus is dead.

Accepted Answer

I : I am so sorry that this happened to you.

We usually never know why a miscarriage occurs.  There have been large studies done on this subject, and usually there is nothing wrong with the mom or the baby, but for some reason the pregnancy just doesn't "take".  It may be an issue with the hormones or the placenta.  Rest assured, there is nothing you can do differently at this stage of the pregnancy, but often women blame something that they have done which isn't true.

Discuss this with your doctor also, and if you have had more than one miscarriage you may need a workup, but many women have one miscarriage in their lives and have no difficulty with subsequent pregnancies.

Again, I am so sorry that this happened to you.

Question 3

i've had total 7 ultrasounds with my pregnancy beacuse of bleeding i had is it true its bad for the baby iam having another coming up to see gender?

Accepted Answer

Safe when done right: My understanding of ultrasounds is that when they're done properly, they are safe.  Ultrasounds are not like x-rays in which radiation is used.  If an ultrasound probe is left in one spot for a very extended period of time, it could potentially raise the temp of the scanned tissue, but it is unclear if that has any ill effect.  Recommend you pose this good ? To the radiologist before the next u/s.

Question 4
