No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.

Question

I'm about 18 weeks pregnant right now and a bit worried. I had a D&C procedure just a couple of months before conceiving again and experienced a minor uterine prolapse after that. I already have a 3-year-old daughter who was a normal delivery. This time, they put me on Susten injections because of low progesterone for the first three months, and now I'm on weekly Prolin injections. A few days back, I noticed a drop of blood after urinating, and my doctor immediately started me on Duvadilan retard 40mg and the antibiotic Forcef. My CRP level is quite high at 10, but there doesn't seem to be any urine infection. I'm really anxiousare these medicines safe to take during pregnancy?

I'm in the first month of an IVF pregnancy and I'm experiencing a stomach ache. Can I take Meftal Spas for some relief? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

Question

I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?
