Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear Archie, thanks a lot, i was so eagerly waiting for ur reply. i promise u that i wont get so anxious in future. u can take the liberty on me! i mean it. he didnt use any such words like foetal pole/ sac, so i was concerned. but as u say guess everything is fine. hes very young and new and the senior doc is on vacation. so my next apt will be with her. by jan 20th i guess i will be 7 weeks? even thats too early to hear the heartbeat right? thanks for being so understanding. my love to advait.
pridu. Archie replied. Dear Pridu,
When you are 7 weeks pregnant by a transvaginal ultrasoun you would definitely pick up heart beats, it's also likely one can try with Obstetric ultrasound. In some cases an OB u/s fail to hear heartbeats at around 7 weeks but if done a transvaginal or pelvic there is high chance you will hear the ultrasound. By the 7 weeks embryonic stages are over and it's officially a fetus.

Don't worry about young and/or practiced Dr. as long as all is well you don't need to worry about such things. Besides you will follow visits with your regular OB/GYN since next one.


Wish you good luck.
Archie
