Can I do an ultrasound when I am one and a half months pregnant?

So many pregnant mothers will have this question: when can they go for a prenatal ultrasound? Will B-ultrasound harm the child’s health? Will there be any radiation or something? But there is no way to do this. But as long as you read the article below, I believe you will understand when you can go and when you cannot go.

In general, B-ultrasound examination can only be performed about one month into pregnancy. Because the gestational sac can only be seen by B-ultrasound examination after 5 weeks of pregnancy, the detection rate of gestational sac reaches 100% at 6 weeks of pregnancy. The embryo can be seen at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. At 49 days of pregnancy, when the diameter of the embryo is 2mm, the primitive heart tube beating can be seen. At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the human shape begins to take shape.

However, if the B-ultrasound examination is performed too early, the gestational sac may be too small to be observed clearly, resulting in inaccurate examination results. In addition, not every doctor can accurately judge the condition if an ultrasound examination is performed too early, and the more ultrasound examinations are performed, the better. Therefore, experts recommend that it is best to avoid doing B-ultrasound too early or too many times.

If a woman finds that her menstruation is delayed by about 10 days, she can go to the hospital for an ultrasound to determine whether she is pregnant and whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, and then adopt different measures according to the specific situation. However, the size of the embryo cannot be seen through ultrasound examination at this time, but after about a week, the embryo can be clearly seen. If it is confirmed that it is an intrauterine pregnancy, it is best not to do an ultrasound casually.

It is currently recommended that 3-4 ultrasound examinations be performed during normal pregnancy. However, if abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, frequent or reduced fetal movements, and other abnormalities and unclear fetal position occur during pregnancy, ultrasound examinations should be performed as appropriate based on the doctor's examination results. Too many times will have a certain impact on the fetus. If the fetus develops normally, it is completely unnecessary to do too many ultrasounds.

Can I do B-ultrasound when I am pregnant?

How long does it take to do an ultrasound during pregnancy? Expert advice: It is best to wait until the 18th to 20th week of pregnancy to do an ultrasound examination.

Obstetric experts point out that after a woman becomes pregnant, it is generally believed that if the menstrual period has not exceeded 18 weeks, it is not suitable for an ultrasound examination. Because ultrasound examinations are performed in the early stages of pregnancy, especially within 2 months of pregnancy, or even too many times, it is very likely to cause embryonic cell division, affect the fetal brain development, and even have adverse effects on the mother. But after the early stages of pregnancy, around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, it is time to have an ultrasound examination to determine the growth and development of the fetus.

Although it is not suitable to do B-ultrasound examination within 18 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women with special circumstances are excluded. For example, if an abnormal situation such as ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole occurs, or other abnormal pregnancy occurs, whether the fetus continues to be pregnant will require a final decision through a B-ultrasound examination. This is related to whether the fetus can develop healthily in the uterus, so it needs to be treated with more caution.

Well, if you have read this far, I believe you will understand when is the best time to do a B-ultrasound. Well, if you are sure you want to do an ultrasound, then I would suggest that you wait until your body is in the best condition you think it is before doing the ultrasound. This is what is best for your body.
