Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm really worried because I had some bleeding for the first time, but after using SBL FP tablets and cream for 10 days, it stopped. Now I'm experiencing burning and pain during bowel movements again. Do you think I should continue with this prescription, and how long should I keep using it? Also, is there any quick treatment available that doesn't involve surgery?
yes it will cure

I'm really worried about the results from my recent color Doppler. It showed a baby weight of 2.293 grams, AFI at 6.5, and two loops of the cord around the neck. The doctor suggested I might need a c-section because of the nuchal cord and low AFI. Is there any chance I could still have a normal delivery? And is it possible to increase the AFI by drinking around 3-4 liters of water now?
its better you undergo c- section. afi cannot be increased by drinking water
