How long does it take to see the fetal heartbeat and embryo through B-ultrasound during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is very stressful for women's bodies, and it is also a big event for the family. Once a woman is confirmed to be pregnant, in the early stages of pregnancy, she usually needs to go to the hospital for a routine B-ultrasound physical examination. So how long does it take for the B-ultrasound to detect the embryo and fetal heartbeat? Let's take a look at this issue together below.

How long does it take to get a fetal heartbeat on ultrasound?

The embryonic bud and fetal heart refer to the first half month during the development stage of sperm and egg combination, which is called the pregnant egg. After that, various organs are gradually formed. Before the 8th week of pregnancy, it is called the embryo (or embryonic bud). The period from the third month of pregnancy to the first four weeks of pregnancy is called the embryonic bud and fetal heart rate period. Generally, the embryo and fetal heart rate can be detected after 7 weeks of pregnancy. Generally, 8 weeks of pregnancy is the best and most obvious. Some pregnant mothers do B-ultrasound too early in order to see the little life in their belly as soon as possible, which is unreasonable.

If you do B-ultrasound too early, the test tube embryo will be produced in the early stage and is very sensitive. Fluctuations will be detrimental to the development of the embryo. Therefore, pregnant mothers must wait until eight weeks before doing B-ultrasound examination. The fetal heartbeat usually appears around seven weeks of pregnancy, but mothers generally cannot detect whether there is a fetal heartbeat, so regular prenatal checkups are necessary. If pregnant mothers have symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and no pregnancy reaction, they should pay attention and go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound to check whether the baby is growing and developing normally.

Some pregnant mothers will encounter the situation of no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat. Part of the reason is due to test errors. Another part is that the pregnant mother’s incorrect lifestyle leads to the death of the fetus, including exposure to some harmful compounds, exposure to radiation and so on.
