How many weeks of pregnancy is there a heartbeat?

Pregnancy is such a wonderful thing. For all the expectant mothers, it is beautiful and magical. Maybe in the first three months, you will vomit a lot or have other serious reactions, but you will still feel happy. Especially as your belly grows bigger and you can hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time, which mother would not be shocked or moved? Do you know how long it takes for a baby to have a heartbeat in the mother's belly?

Generally speaking, once the baby has implanted and started growing for a week, there will definitely be a fetal heartbeat! Basically, you will be pregnant in six weeks of pregnancy, but sometimes the implantation is late, and sometimes conception is late, so it is best to have the first B check at seven or eight weeks, so that you can see the gestational sac, embryo and fetal heart rate immediately.

The fetal heart rate is the heartbeat of the fetus, which can usually be heard in the abdomen with a normal stethoscope between 17 and 20 weeks. The fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats/minute, sometimes even faster and less regular. It becomes more regular towards the end of pregnancy. Sometimes there may be a brief pause in the heartbeat, or the heart rate may reach 180 beats per minute, which is normal.

Symptoms of early pregnancy diagnosis

1. For amenorrhea women of childbearing age with a history of sexual activity, pregnancy should be suspected if their menstruation is delayed by 10 days or more. Amenorrhea may be the earliest and most important symptom of pregnancy. But it should be noted that amenorrhea does not necessarily mean pregnancy.

2. About half of women experience symptoms such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, drooling, loss of appetite, preference for sour foods or aversion to greasy foods, nausea, and vomiting in the morning about 6 weeks after menstruation. These symptoms are called early pregnancy reactions. Most early pregnancy reactions disappear on their own around 12 weeks of pregnancy.

3. Frequent urination occurs in early pregnancy and is caused by the enlarged anteverted uterus pressing on the bladder in the pelvic cavity. Around 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the uterus enters the abdominal cavity and no longer compresses the bladder, the symptom of frequent urination disappears naturally [1].

Signs

1. Breast changes: Starting from the 8th week of pregnancy, the breasts gradually increase in size. Pregnant women feel mild breast tenderness and nipple pain. Examination shows that the nipple and the surrounding skin (areola) are darker in color, and Montessori nodes are visible around the areola.

2. Changes in the reproductive organs are examined by vaginal speculum examination at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. The vaginal wall and cervix can be seen to be congested and purple-blue. As pregnancy progresses, the uterus enlarges and softens. When the uterine fundus extends beyond the pelvic cavity, it can be touched above the pubic symphysis.

In fact, pregnant mothers can hardly feel the baby's heartbeat. The first time you feel it is when you go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor asks you to listen to it. It feels so wonderful and touching.
