Fetal ultrasound is an extremely important and effective testing technique that monitors the growth and development of the fetus in the womb. Therefore, to achieve the best results, pregnant mothers need to equip themselves with knowledge about pregnancy ultrasound as important pregnancy ultrasound milestones.

1. How many weeks of pregnancy can I have an ultrasound?

Usually, a gestational cycle will last for an interval of 40 weeks, starting from the last day of menstruation of the woman's closest menstrual cycle. In the first time, the egg will begin to shed, then fertilize, form a prince and go to the uterus to start nesting. This process will take place within the first 2 weeks, so if the mother votes for an ultrasound of the pregnancy around this time, the 2-week pregnancy ultrasound image will not be visible and it is impossible to be sure that the pregnancy is actually pregnant. Even if the vaginal probe ultrasound cannot see any clear fetal image, it will affect the development of the fetus if the mother is actually pregnant at this time.

Therefore, if you want to get more specific images of the fetus, you should go to obstetrics facilities to conduct an ultrasound of the pregnancy at about 6-10 weeks, when the body is delayed menstruation for more than 3 weeks and there are some signs of suspected pregnancysuch as sickness, vomiting, nausea, trying the pregnancy test stick only 2 lines,body fatigue, weight gain …

2. Did you see the 3-week ultrasound?

A question that is greatly asked by pregnant mothers is does the 3-week ultrasound pregnancy see? At 3 weeks of gestation, this is still the nesting time of eggs and has not yet formed a certain body at all. During this period, only embryos are formed and are in the process of moving to the uterus and nesting at full. These embryos are so small that the naked eye cannot recognize the results of a 3-week fetal ultrasound that will not see the fetal image. This is too early for an ultrasound of the fetus, a 3-week fetal probe ultrasound does not give accurate results, and the probe's survey can also affect the development of the fetus inside the mother's uterus.

When 3 weeks pregnant, women need to pay attention to some signs such as cramps, pelvic muscle tension, bloating abdomen, tense chest, 2 ti heads become sensitive, vomiting, nausea, especially in the morning and when smelling food, bleeding out small amounts, or urinating … to visit and to conduct a number of timely tests.

3. Important fetal ultrasound milestones

After the first pregnancy ultrasound is performed at week 6-10 and determining the mother is actually pregnant, it is necessary to remember the important pregnancy ultrasound milestones to perform an ultrasound to closely monitor the development of the pregnancy in the mother's uterus. Important pregnancy ultrasound milestones include:

  • At pregnancy is 11-13 weeks 6 days old:

Ultrasound of pregnancy at this stage can detect and scan for some birth defects such as abnormalities of chromothesis that cause Down's disease, the number of pregnancies,the number of multiple pregnancies, the number of amniotic chambers, the number of cakes,calculating the date of birth, detecting the risk of the mother having pre-production,abnormalities in some agencies such as the heart, abdominal wall, hands, legs, cake, brain … Since this is an important pregnancy ultrasound milestone, mothers need to actively carry out adequate inspections and conduct them in quality medical facilities.

From the age of 12 weeks, the baby has developed relatively full in ermity and has reflexes such as stretching his torso, stretching the limbs … Because your baby is still quite small, a high-end 4D ultrasound system such as GE Voluson E10 will play a very important role to help doctors at Share99 detect more than 95% of malformations during this period.
