    measuring 6w1d no heartbeat

    This kind of thing happened with my last pregnancy... I went to early no heartbeat no anything just a "fetal pole" that was even to small to measure (he's now very measurable at 2yrs old)... this time around is almost the same thing... the yoke sac or whatever he was  measuring  was 6w1d.. I go back next tuesday to see what's what.... but shouldn't he/she have a heartbeat at 6w1d? The dr said everything looks very good, nothing to worry about, I just came in a few days to early to see a heartbeat... I dont understand how I could possibly test positive so early with all my pregnancy's... I would have been about 8dpo when I tested positive in the middle of the day NOT with FMU.. Huh?  it is possible that I am a few days too early, but then again arrgggghh I'm just confused hurt and feeling lost. Crying

    Oh honey, I have no clue.  I never had anything done with either pregnancy until I was more than 10 weeks.  Thinking of you!

    Lene -- i think you are probably fine. At six weeks, a baby is still just barely more than a clump of cells -- his brain is just beginning to develop and limbs are just starting to sprout -- but none of the other internal organs have even started taking shape.

    Take a look at the Pregnancy Week by Week (written by yours truly Stick out tongue) and it will explain what's going on with your  baby each week, plus your body too. Here's a link to week 6 for your baby:

    but the thing is I "THOUGHT" I was 7w3d which is why I'm worried. I know this happened to me before, but seriously why is my body wacky ovulating VERY late, and they shows pregnancy tests VERY early?? I'm a freak. I always knew it.. this just proves it.

    "At six weeks, a baby is still just barely more than a clump of cells -- his brain is just beginning to develop and limbs are just starting to sprout -- but none of the other internal organs have even started taking shape."

     

    All the pregnancy books and sites I've looked at say that by 6 weeks the baby's heart is beating and BabyCenter says the nose, ears and mouth are beginning to take shape. Arms and legs are protruding buds...Heart beating 100- 160 times a minute, Intestines developing, pituitary gland forming, baby is quarter inch long and about the size of a lentil. The book says that in week 7 the baby doubles in size to a half inch and has a liver and the two hemispheres of the brain are developing.

     I hardly think all of that qualifies as "barely more than a clump of cells." I resent that description, actually. After all, we are all just "clumps of cells" and it makes it sound so devalued to describe a baby that way.

    I am in my 6th week and have not had an ultra sound yet.
