Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

could i be pregnant? or is this normal pms? seven years ago i had my tubes tied with this last year i was pegnanat and lost the fetus, well over the last two months i have experinced quizziness in the am, rounding and harding of mid-section, i did start m

Accepted Answer

You : You have already had one pregnancy after your tubal ligation, therefore it is safe to assume that your tubes recanulized (reconnected). You should take a pregnancy test. Otherwise see your doctor since it is not normal to feel like you are "dying". This definitely warrants further evaluation.
Good luck.

Question 7

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 8

in early pregnancy, is the fetal pole the same thing as an embryo? when should u see an embryo? what does it look like?

Accepted Answer

Early ultrasound : By about 6 weeks a fetal pole, also known as an early embryo, is visible with a heart beat on vaginal ultrasound.  It looks like a grain of rice or a jelly bean at first--a white/grey blob with a flicker!

Question 9

are fetal defects such as cleft hands detected through an anomaly scan? had scan 8w ago all good now my baby's hand look like lobster claw on us pics

Accepted Answer

Anatomy survey: Is typically performed between 18 and 22 weeks gestational age.  At that time, the fetal anatomy has developed well enough to detect most anomalies.  The arms, legs, hands and feet are typically part of a routine anatomy survey, so abnormalities should be identified at that time.

Question 10

can a 9 week fetus look 7 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Maybe but not likely: You have to understand that the usual way to date is weeks from the menstrual period, which is presumed( but not always )2 weeks from conception. But, if a good ultrasound is done and the first third of pregnancy, it should be accurate to within 5 days, not 2 weeks off! if within 5 days, they way still go by the menstrual period or probable date of conception... Talk to your ob!
hope this helps.
