At 6 weeks pregnant, your baby is growing rapidly, and exciting milestones are happening!
✨ 3D Ultrasound at 6 Weeks
A gestational sac, yolk sac, and tiny fetal pole may be visible on 2D and 3D ultrasound depending on the ultrasound equipment and the practitioner.
A heartbeat may be detected, though in some cases, it may still be too early.
Visualizing and documenting an intrauterine gestational sac, yolk sac and an embryo with a normal heart rate (120 bpm) would be considered a viable pregnancy.
