When will my ultra sound show my baby and not a bean/egg?

Question

I have had one ultra sound at 5 weeks, and my baby looked like a round egg.

I will be going to the doctors this week and I will almost be 10 weeks pregnant by then.

What should I expect? Every website I go to about fetus's or ultra sounds seems to be changing the pics to farther along, because they are trying to convince women to not have abortions.

When will my ultra sounds start to look like a baby?

Does anyone have any of there ultra sound pictures from 9-10 weeks?

Answer 2

You probably won't have another ultrasound until 18-20 weeks and then your fetus will have a more human appearance....

For pictures of your developing baby pick up a book like What to Expect When You're Expecting or my fave is The Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy.

Oh and ivillage.com has some awesome pics of a developing fetus from week 6

I had an early ultrasound (around 10 weeks) with my last pregnancy, and we clearly saw a little baby-shaped tyke in there dancing around a bit. Not quite the same as the usual 20-week scans you often see, where baby is curled up in the literal fetal position, though. More like a head-on shot of the whole tiny body -- head, tummy, arms, legs and all. Our daughter was sort of bopping from side to side like she was dancing, which was cute (and reassuring) to see at the time. ;)

So while you might not be able to pick out more specific details and such -- such as gender -- he or she will most likely be very baby-like in appearance. ;) I did a quick search for "9 week ultrasound pics," and the same for 10 weeks, and came up with these. Some are further along (as you can tell from the titles), but if you sift through them you can easily see a few examples of the 9 or 10-week variety. Hope it helps!

I had my first ultra sound at 13 weeks it he looked so gorgeous like a tiny baby. you could see all his features. He was lying on a great angle so this helped. but i was surprised at how clear this ultra sound was at 13 weeks. not sure about 10 weeks though. im suire it will look better than last time. dont get too upset. by the time you have your 20 week scan WOW it is amazing. its worth the wait to see youir gorgeous baby with all its features and fingers and toes. its amazing. hang in there.

Did you bypass with a quad show screen blood try? it could have been performed at approximately 18 weeks. this could help clue the docs in on markers for issues which includes Downs, Trisonomy 18, spina biffida, etc.. additionally, some docs carry out a NT test (Nucheal something) approximately 11 weeks. They degree something interior the toddler's neck. a undeniable thickness can sign Down's. in the experience that your surgeon hasn't stated something to then you i would not problem too plenty. (much less complicated reported than completed, i understand) i could just to take a seat down back and revel interior the the rest 17 weeks!! stable success and congrats!!

Answer 7

Answer 8

I had one at 11 weeks and my baby's hands and feet were kicking and punching all over the place. He was very active, and the last one I had at 20 weeks, he was asleep, but his heart was beating away, and he even woke up, and I saw his legs stretching!
Just be patient. Your next scan, when further along with be a lot more detailed.

Answer 9

at 10 weeks you will be able to see the baby alittle more, but it's more around 16-20 weeks when they do an ultrasound that the baby looks like a baby.

Answer 10

if you get a US this visit it will look like a baby, but a very small one!!!

at 14+ weeks it clearly looks like a baby, and by 16 weeks the gender is usualy visable. Good luck!

Answer 11

Well they don't usually do another one until you are 12 weeks or so and by then it does look like a baby.
