Fetal heartbeat and fetal buds can usually be measured at 6 weeks, but there are individual variations.
For women of childbearing age with regular menstrual cycles, blood HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels should be measured about 10 days after intercourse during ovulation to confirm pregnancy. Generally, fetal buds and heartbeat can be seen during ultrasound examination at about 6 weeks of gestation, and the week of gestation can be verified according to the size of the fetal buds. However, some women may not be able to see the fetal buds and heartbeat at this time, and should follow the doctor’s instructions for follow-up.
When it is clear that the intrauterine pregnancy is normal, early pregnancy should also pay attention to appropriate rest, not to carry out strenuous exercise and physical labor, prohibit coitus, appropriate increase in diet and nutrition, and take folic acid on time. When the general condition is good, continue to carry out obstetric examination on time, and to measure the fetal head and hip length at 11~13+6 weeks of pregnancy to accurately check the gestational week.
