Question 1

what does a 3mnths old foetus look like?

Accepted Answer

Tiny: at 12 weeks, it may look like a tiny curved shaped "shrimp" like structure. It may have eyes and buds that will give rise to arms/legs

Question 2

what does a 7 week fetus look like can you describe?

Accepted Answer

Google it: Why don't  you go to www.Google.Com and type in 7 week fetus and then look under images.  That will get you a lot farther than any description i can provide.  On ultrasound at 7 weeks it looks like a shadowy grey tube with 4 little arm buds, a yolk sac and maybe one can see an amniotic sac as well.

Question 3

can a 21 week fetus with iugr look like a 8 week fetus ?

Accepted Answer

No: That doesn&#x27;t happen in real life, just like a 21 year-old who was malnourished and neglected all his life will still not look anything like a normal 8 year-old boy. In a natural pregnancy, ultrasound dating that shows an 8 week fetus is an estimate that the pregnancy is 7-9 weeks. Avoid overthinking this, unless it is 100% impossible that there was a sperm meeting an egg 5-7 weeks ago.

Question 4

is there a difference between a 13 week old fetus and a 17 week old fetus?

Accepted Answer

Yes: there is considerable development and increase in size in the 4 weeks.

Question 5

can my 21 week old fetus feel my sadness/emotions?

Accepted Answer

Very probably so.: The maternal feelings affect endocrine and neuroimmune pathways thereby indirectly signaling the fetus that something is wrong. There is ample evidence that stress, anxiety, depression all increase the risk of preterm birth and poor fetal growth.

Question 6

what does a 20 week fetus with iugr look like on an ultra sound?

Accepted Answer

It  can look : symmetrically small for dates of the pregnancy, this could be more concerning for genetic issues. If the head is spared, closer to correct size, and the body is smaller, this may reflect issues with adequate nutrition thru the placenta.

Question 7

can a 12 week fetus be confused with an 11 or 13 week old fetus?  (crl 62mm)

Accepted Answer

Yes: The accuracy of a sonogram at this early stage is usually plus or minus a week so depending on the quality of the quality of the sonogram dates can very about 1 week or another.

Question 8

can you tell me possible reasons of the stoppage of growth of a fetus at 5 weeks old?

Accepted Answer

Much has to go right: There could be something wrong with the placenta or the baby or both.  Medication taken at the wrong time could be disruptive, implantation may not be in the best spot, infections occur, rarely trauma.  It is nearly always something completely out of your control, and the body is very efficient at cutting short a pregnancy that just isn't going right.

Question 9

what affect would standing in front of a old microwave (not modern) for 6 seconds have on my 38 week fetus?

Accepted Answer

No proven effects: There are no proven effects of microwave machine (the magnetic field around the machine) effecting fetuses for short term exposure.  Although there is some evidence to chronic exposure of low magnetic fields, 6 seconds is not considered chronic exposure.  Hope this helps.

Question 10

does a  7 week old fetus sleep?

Accepted Answer

Not yet: A human 7-week fetus is described as being the size of a blueberry. He or she doesn't do much of anything (except grow). In order to sleep, there must be recurring "awake" periods, because sleep is the time in between "awake" periods. It will probably happen months later.
