How early can you detect and hear a heartbeat?

You're on the table waiting for your doctor to find the baby’s heartbeat. Whether it takes five seconds or a few minutes, chances are you're going to be breaking out in a sweat. Seeing that rapid flutter on the screen in the first trimester or hearing that thunderous “chug chug chug” or the sound of a “galloping horse” sound in the last two trimesters is music to the ears for many new parents but you have to be a few months on before you can hear it that way. With ultrasound you can see the heart beat as early as 6 weeks gestation and hear it safely as early as 12 weeks gestation. Many factors can attribute to how early you can see your baby’s heartbeat. Positioning of the foetus, weight of the mother, and time can all factor in on how early you will be able to see the heartbeat. At around 18 to 20 weeks or sometimes sooner your baby’s heart beat should be able to be heard with a stethoscope at your doctor’s office. This still remains to be one of the most exciting moments in pregnancy…..hearing your baby’s heartbeat. **End Summary** Topics: Pregnancy Scan]]> Pregnancy Ultrasound]]> 3D 4D Scan]]> Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound]]> Pregnancy Ultrasound Scan Center]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> This aticle has been brought to you by Ultrasound Dimensions at Ultrasound.ie For more Pregnancy Scan , Pregnancy Ultrasound, 3D 4D Scan information contact us today!

When should you tell your boss you're pregnant?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:38:00 -0500

Whether you just started a new job, or have been working in the same place for years, telling a boss you're expecting can bring a flurry of emotions. The general rule of thumb for most pregnancies is to wait until the second trimester to tell anyone other than close family that you're expecting. This is usually a good time because you have passed the critical first few weeks and are likely out of the miscarriage danger zone. If you are having a rough time with morning sickness, you may feel it only fair to share your news with your supervisor. Different jobs carry different levels of risk and responsibility and only you can know the right time. It's important to remember that not everyone will share your enthusiasm for a newborn. Contact your HR department to become familiar with policies and procedures of pregnancy, doctor’s visits and maternity leave. Irrespective of when you've started a position you will be offered many options. It's important to remember how your boss may feel when you're a valued worker, they are probably worried you won't come back or will miss many days of work. **End Summary** Topics: Pregnancy Ultrasound]]> 3D 4D Scan]]> Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound]]> Pregnancy Ultrasound Scan Center]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> This aticle has been brought to you by Ultrasound Dimensions at Ultrasound.ie For more Pregnancy Scan , Pregnancy Ultrasound , 3D 4D Scan information contact us today!
