When women are pregnant, they often go to the hospital for prenatal check ups, which can timely understand the development of the fetus. Women need to observe the condition of the fetal bud and heart rate through ultrasound in early pregnancy. If the fetal bud and heart rate do not appear within a certain period of time, it indicates that the pregnancy has stopped. So, is it normal for pregnant women to have no fetal buds at 5 to 6 weeks?
It is normal to have no fetal buds at 5-6 weeks of pregnancy, so pregnant women don't need to be too anxious and can patiently wait for a while longer. In the early stages of pregnancy, as long as the size of the gestational sac, endocrine levels are normal, and there are no abnormal symptoms such as abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, women do not need to worry too much.
The fetal bud usually appears around 50 days of pregnancy, while 5-6 weeks of pregnancy is 35-42 days of pregnancy, so it is normal for the fetal bud not to appear. At this time, pregnant women need to pay attention to the levels of progesterone and hCG, and wait until around 7 weeks of pregnancy to undergo another examination, by which time most of them can detect fetal buds.
Some women may have a delayed appearance of fetal buds after their friends become pregnant, which is usually influenced by the implantation time. If a B-ultrasound examination is performed at 8 weeks of pregnancy and the fetal bud still does not appear, it is considered an abnormal condition, which is usually due to fetal arrest. At this point, pregnant women need to have a miscarriage to expel the stillborn fetus from the body.
