Brief Answer:
Not affect but I don't recommend loud music.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

At this stage, loud music DOESN'T affect your growing embryo. However, I WOULDN'T recommended hearing it every night though it is hard to measure how much loudness or noise can affect developing baby.

Repeated loud music causes to produce more stress hormone in your body and increases heart rate, which is NOT good for your baby. If a pregnant woman works around loud noise or music industry for several hours, she will be at higher risk of delivering baby with hearing loss.

I suggest you to repeat beta-hCG after 3 days to check rising pattern and TVS scan after 1 week to check for gestational sac. Kindly, consult with your treating doctor regarding this.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.

For future query, you can directly approach me through

Ok also i get cramps pain on and off all day long and when i walk i sometimes get a wierd ach in my vagina? Is this normal? And i have a scan next week it would be at 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Will the scan show something

Answered by Dr. Dr. Soumen Patra (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Mostly normal. You will see gestational sac after 1 week.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Welcome back again.

1) Mild abdominal cramp or feeling of pain inside vagina is quite common and normal things during early week of pregnancy. Hormonal changes are major contributory factor regarding this.

2) If you undergo Trans Vaginal Ultrasound scan, you can see gestational sac after 4th week, fetal pole and yolk sac around 5th week and fetal heart beat around 5-6 weeks. Review with scan report.

Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.

Brief Answer:
Following things are helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Welcome back again. I understand your problem.

1) You can do following things to feel better about your pregnancy :

a) Meditation regularly in the morning to reduce mental stress or anxiety.

b) Keep close attachment with your partner so that you don't feel alone.

c) Need adequate sound sleep and do things to relax your body & mind (listen low sound music, watch some movies, read books).

d) Travel to different places and enjoy holidays, which help in changing environment and personal thinking.

e) Hormonal changes have major contribution to feel such things. If above steps can't handle your problem, I suggest to consult with Counselor.

2) At this stage, rising pattern of beta-hCG is more valuable to confirm healthy pregnancy until you undergo TVS scan.

Other pregnancy signs are as follows to make you confident:

a) Tender, swollen breasts, b) Nausea with or without vomiting.

c) Increased urination, d) Fatigue, e) Food aversions or cravings.

Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care. Review with test report.
