Pregnancy and childbirth are the choices of many people. Indeed, for many, having children can be a difficult and mundane family life. Pregnancy is still very difficult for women, and they are very worried about the development of the embryo after pregnancy. They hope to see the fetal buds as soon as possible. So, how long does it take to see the embryo in early pregnancy?
From the perspective of embryonic development, the first thing to appear is the gestational sac between the 30th and 40th day of pregnancy. It is not until the 40th to 50th day of pregnancy that the fetal bud appears. The embryo continues to develop until around the 50th to 60th day of pregnancy when the fetal heart rate appears. It is generally recommended to check the fetal bud and heart rate at the 60th day of pregnancy.
Because from the perspective of embryonic development, when fetal heart rate appears at 60 days of pregnancy, it is meaningful to undergo examination at this time. From the time of appearance of fetal buds, it is usually around six or seven weeks of pregnancy. From a specific size perspective, by the sixth week of pregnancy, the fetal bud is almost one centimeter in size, and the head, brain vesicles, and other organs of the fetus can be seen.
By the seventh week of pregnancy, the embryo already looks very much like a human, and by this time the limbs have already differentiated. At eleven weeks of pregnancy, the placenta will have fully developed, and an ultrasound will show that the gestational sac has disappeared. Therefore, this is the time for the fetus, and the fetus will grow up to three or four centimeters in length.
