Patient's question:
I am 36 weeks pregnant. Can an ultrasound see the fetus? First question supplement: Can I do an ultrasound now?Doctor's answer:
You are currently 36 days pregnant, and an ultrasound may not detect a gestational sac. Generally, an ultrasound can detect a gestational sac around day 40. If there are no special circumstances, it is recommended that you have an ultrasound examination in about two months, at which time normal embryonic development can be observed. Don't rush to have an ultrasound; wait a few more days. Before having an ultrasound, you must fill your bladder. Otherwise, it may affect the results of the ultrasound examination. It is recommended that you relax, avoid tension and fatigue, refrain from spicy and irritating foods, and enhance nutrition. Consider going to the hospital for an ultrasound examination every week. During the early stages of pregnancy, sexual activity should be avoided.
