From the beginning of pregnancy, pregnant women are generally happy to see the healthy development and growth of their fetus, which is what every pregnant woman hopes for. Pregnant women also look forward to seeing the fetus in their belly, which can be achieved through ultrasound examination during pregnancy. However, if the examination is done too early, it may not be visible, so it should be done at an appropriate time. So, how long can the gestational sac be seen in general?
Generally, the gestational sac can be seen after 35 days of amenorrhea. For women with regular menstrual periods, the gestational sac can be seen as early as this time. If the menstrual period is irregular and ovulation is delayed, the time to see the gestational sac will not be very fast. As long as the fetal development is normal, pregnant women do not need to worry too much.
The gestational sac is the initial form of the fetus. Only after the gestational sac is formed, the fetal heart and buds will also begin to appear. At around 6 weeks of pregnancy, the gestational sac is still very small, usually reaching about 2 centimeters. By 10 weeks of pregnancy, the gestational sac is about 5 centimeters, and it may grow on the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus, or in the middle, which is normal. The gestational sac is also relatively clear under examination.
If the gestational sac develops too small, it may be due to endocrine disorders in pregnant women, or it may be caused by excessive stress during pregnancy and insufficient nutrient intake. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to rest more, pay attention to dietary regulation, timely supplement folic acid and vitamins, and regularly undergo prenatal check ups.
