ultrasound at 6 weeks pregnant

What to expect at your six-week ultrasound appointment

First trimester ultrasound is performed in the first 3-4 months of pregnancy.

Pregnancy ultrasounds done primarily using transabdominal ultrasound.

For many women, especially after 8 weeks of pregnancy, adequate information about infant can be obtained by transabdominal ultrasound alone. However, in early pregnancy, the developing embryo is very small (at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the baby is only 5-9mm long) and transvaginal ultrasound may be necessary to obtain a better picture of the baby. Transvaginal ultrasound is safe and is commonly performed in all stages of pregnancy, including the first trimester. It will not harm you or your baby.

Transabdominal ultrasound involves scanning through the lower abdomen. A small amount of ultrasound gel is placed on the skin of the lower abdomen, the ultrasound probe then scans through this gel. gel helps improve the contact between the probe and the skin.

transvaginal ultrasound is an internal ultrasound. This involves scanning the ultrasound probe lying in the vagina. Transvaginal ultrasound is usually produce a better and clearer picture of the female pelvic organs including the pregnancy develops, because the ultrasound examination lies closer to this structure.

transvaginal ultrasound probe is thin, about the diameter of 2 cm. probe is covered with a protective disposable sheath. A small amount of ultrasound gel is placed at the end of this probe. The probe is then inserted a short distance into the vagina gently. All transvaginal probe has been cleaned and sterilized according to the recommended protocol.

Doing a transvaginal ultrasound usually causes less discomfort than a Pap smear. No analgesia required for this ultrasound.

Your privacy will always be respected during your ultrasound, especially transvaginal examination. You will have a large towel covering the lower body, in addition to wearing a dress during a transvaginal ultrasound.

You will always have a choice about whether to do a transvaginal ultrasound. If you have concerns about a transvaginal ultrasound, please discuss this with you before ultrasound sonogram starts.

We usually get a better picture during transabdominal ultrasound if bladder partially filled, so to help your investigation, we ask you to drink water before the vote. Please empty the bladder 1 hour before your appointment, drink two glasses of water and try not to empty your bladder again until after your appointment.

A full bladder bowel move out of the pelvis into the abdomen, helping visualization of pregnancy, the uterus and ovaries.

bladder you should not be so full that it causes pain. If the bladder is very full and painful, you have to vacate a small amount so that you are more comfortable.

You will be able to empty your bladder after transabdominal USG is completed and before a transvaginal ultrasound is started (if a transvaginal ultrasound is necessary)

Not all women need to have an ultrasound in the early part of pregnancy

your doctor may ask for an ultrasound for a number of reasons, including ..:

Sometimes the results of the first trimester scan may be inconclusive or uncertain, and should be combined with clinical history and blood tests (serum BhCG ).

Some women need to go back for another ultrasound scan a few weeks later to assess the progress of the pregnancy, or they may need another blood test (serum serial BhCG).

Your doctor will discuss the reasons as follow-up, if this is necessary.

We realize this is often an anxious time for parents, while they wait for the next ultrasound to check the baby's thei r. We will do our best to answer your questions and to minimize your anxiety.

A first trimester ultrasound typically include each of the following components but some ultrasound can focus on specific areas.

Your Ultrasound is always done in the context of the clinical history and the results of previous ultrasound and investigation.

Your baby will change dramatically in appearance during the early part of pregnancy.

before 5 weeks of pregnancy, pregnancy progressed too small to detect on an ultrasound. The endometrium (lining of the uterus where the pregnancy would grow) will appear thick and secretion. One will have an ovarian cyst hemorrhagic ovulation called the corpus luteum. These ovarian cystsis a normal part of pregnancy, such as an egg shape your baby are exempt from these cysts. The corpus luteum will gradually resolve (the smaller) as the pregnancy progresses.

At 5-6 weeks of pregnancy, a small pregnancy (gestational) sac seen in the womb. A transvaginal ultrasound is usually necessary to see the baby at this stage of pregnancy. Your baby is only a small embryo. Although ultrasound can see your baby, measuring only a few millimeters long, and it is too early to always detect the baby's heartbeat. You do not have to worry if we can not see the baby's heartbeat at this early stage, as this can be normal. Yolk sac is another structure that is usually identified at an early stage. Yolk sac lies in a sac and looks like a small round circle in the gestational sac. See the yolk sac help doctors confirm the presence of pregnancy develops in the womb, even before the embryo is visible. This is useful if there is a concern that the pregnancy you can not actually located in the uterus (ectopic pregnancy).

At 6-7 weeks of pregnancy, your baby grows bigger and now measures 5-9mm long. From now until the end of the first trimester, the embryo will be measured from one end to the other, called the crown-rump-length or CRL. the baby's heartbeat will be detected at this stage.

At 8-11 weeks of pregnancy, your baby continues to appearance changes such as growing and developing. With eight weeks of pregnancy, your baby can usually be seen with transabdominal ultrasound.

By 10-11 weeks of pregnancy, the embryo is clearly recognizable as a baby with a body, head, arms and legs, as well as many other features that can be identified. Your baby can move around the gestational sac. Many parents are amazed at the detail that can be seen even at this early stage of pregnancy.
