B-ultrasound is a method of using the strong and weak points of ultrasound to form an image and make a basic judgment on the condition of the baby in the abdomen. As a doctor in the Department of Ultrasound in Obstetrics Hospital, I have encountered many women who have undergone ultrasound examinations. They have such questions about ultrasound examination.

Is ultrasound safe? Ultrasound has a certain biological effect, although there is not enough evidence to prove that the diagnosed ultrasound is harmful to the fetus, but the early embryos still need to be used with caution. Therefore, in general, fetal prenatal ultrasound is safe, but it is recommended to avoid multiple ultrasound examinations 3 months before pregnancy (do not miss 11-14 weeks of examination).

What can be detected by early pregnancy ultrasound (within 10 weeks)? Can determine whether pregnancy, as well as the location, size, shape, presence or absence of fetal sac, fetal heart; determine the number of gestational sacs and embryos, chorionic judgment of twins; observe embryos, determine whether embryos stop developing; Ectopic pregnancy; with or without gynecological complications, such as uterine malformations, fibroids, attachment cysts, etc.

Can ultrasound detect any abnormalities in your baby? Because ultrasound diagnosis is based on morphology, ultrasound can not be diagnosed when the morphological changes are small or unchanged (such as eye and ear abnormalities, limb joint curvature, angular abnormalities, and abnormalities of fingers and toes).

Therefore, even if no abnormality is found in the ultrasonography, the possibility that the fetus has a problem cannot be excluded 100%. Combined with the clinical, remind you that you want a baby, if the menstrual regularity, the earliest can be in the ovulation period (ovulation occurs more than 14 days before the next menstrual cramps) 8-9 days after the hospital to check blood human chorionic gonadotropin (β- hCG), if it is negative, should be reviewed after 1 week, rather than rushing to the conclusion of not being pregnant.

Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can check the urine HCG for 5-7 days, and the price is much lower than the blood β-hCG. For B-ultrasound, it is recommended that the first examination be performed within 10 weeks. The regularity of menstruation (cycle less than or equal to 30 days) can be performed at the earliest after 5-6 weeks of menopause, because the fetal heartbeat can be displayed.
