Ultrasound: 6 Weeks and 4 days old fetus

This is an ultrasound done today 10 Feb 2009 of our 6 weeks and 4 days old fetus. The black "bubble" is the amniotic sac of the fetus. The flicker at the bottom of the sac is the baby's heart beating!! We could hear the heartbeat of the baby :-) (You can hear the heartbeat from 3:08 - 3:13 min in the video) That's the best thing to hear for a mom (and dad)!!

my girlfriend has found out recently she is pregnant, done two tests at her doctors both positive and done one at hospital just before a scan again positive. when she had a scan nothing could be seen only a black sac is this normal. she is approx 6 weeks pregnant.

@Ms21061989 Hi, CONGRATS!! Yes it is normal, some ultrasounds cannot pick up the heartbeat yet cause the fetus is so tiny. I had an internal ultrasound and thats how the Gynae picked up the heartbeat.

@2009Burger Thanks just need to put my mind at rest it has taken a long time for this to happen so just want to make sure.

@Jessicak1120 It's a fibroid. They have measured it with every ultrasound during my pregnancy to check that it does not grow bigger because it does grow more because of the hormones. It was also growing between certain layers of the uterus and did not endanger my baby at all. I was advised to have a c-section birth coz the fibroid could cause the placenta to tear and also they cannot cut it out during the pregnancy or with the c-section because it could cause lots of bleeding.I have no probs.
