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.
