HELLO
IN A NORMAL PREGNANCY CARDIAC ACTIVITY{HEART BEAT} CAN BE DETECTED BY ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND BY 7 WEEKS.IF IT IS NOT DETECTED WE ADVISE REPEAT ULTRASOUND 2 WEEKS LATER. A TRANS VAGINAL ULTRASOUND IS MORE CONCLUSIVE.HOWEVER IN CHANCES OF DELAYED CONCEPTION,WHICH MEANS THE LAST MENSTRUAL DATE DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO THE FETAL AGE, A WAIT AND WATCH POLICY IS FOLLOWED.IF THE PATIENT HAS COMPLAINTS LIKE SPOTTING OR BLEEDING PER VAGINUM, ASSOCIATED WITH ABDOMINAL PAIN, THE CHANCES OF ABORTION IS MORE LIKELY.
