Patient's question:
8 weeks pregnant, embryonic stalk 1722mm, is it small?Doctor's answer:
Normal pregnancy at 7 weeks, the fetal pole has grown to 1.33 cm. The embryo has taken on a human-like form, with all somites fully differentiated, limbs separated, and further development of various systems. Ultrasound clearly shows the fetal pole and fetal heartbeat, with the gestational sac occupying about one-third of the uterine cavity.When determining the size of the embryo, it is generally based on ultrasound findings, but it is also important to consider previous examination results to assess growth. Typically, at weeks 7 to 8, the fetal pole measures between 1.5 to 2.0 cm, which is considered normal. There is no strict boundary, as the primary focus is on the subsequent growth rate.
