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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Q: am three weeks pregnant and i started taking fefol, is the fetus safe?

Iron and Folic acid: Fefol is a vitamin supplement designed for use in pregnancy that contains Iron and Folic Acid. Folic acid is recommended for all pregnant women. Iron can be used if your doctor determined that you had Iron deficiency anemia. These are safe for use in pregnancy

Q: is a dating ultrasound accurate showing 8 weeks if the fetus has iugr and woman has no known lmp? can the fetus actually be 20 weeks along and just look like 8 weeks due to iugr

Quite accurate dates: 20 weeks never looks like 8 weeks, just like a 20 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.

Q: at 19 weeks on an ultrasound does a fetus with iugr appear noticeably smaller or only can tell by measuring the body? do they still look like most 19 weeks baby ultrasound photos

Typical IUGR,: the head is bigger than the body. If both are small could a due date error, or genetic issue.

Q: 11 weeks pregnant, brown spotting for three days now, doctor found lump of cells behind fetus? chances of complications and should i refrain from sex.

Retroplacental clot: Your condition is known as retroplacental hematoma. It is usually benign and carries no complications in most cases. If it is too large, it may cause miscarriage just because of loose attachment of the placenta due to the clot. It can cause bleeding, which is the most common presenting sign prompting evaluation. I'd refrain from sex until the resolution to be on a safe side.

Q: my wife is three months pregnent. the ultrasound shows foetus is week what shud u prescribe is gud to be done for foetus growth?

Not sure: I'm not following your question exactly. I think you are saying that the growth of the fetus at 3 months isn't what is expected. If you've only had one scan, this could be due to the original dates being wrong. If not, watchful waiting is about all you can do. I'd recommend getting a followup scan in a couple weeks to see how growth is progressing. Good luck to you and your wife!

why is the fetus (at three months) covered with lanugo (a felt of long downy hair)?
