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've been taking Meprate for my periods, but I'm still experiencing scanty ones. Is this normal? Can I expect my periods to become heavier like they used to be? How long should I wait to see changes?

I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.
