Recently, some pregnant women have been discussing the issue of new life. Some believe that after successful conception, there is a new life, while others believe that it is only considered new life when the fetus is formed. Some even ask if the embryo is alive at 35 days of pregnancy? So, regarding this issue, let me explain it in detail to all pregnant friends.
When sperm and egg meet and combine to form a fertilized egg, and the fertilized egg smoothly returns to the uterine cavity for implantation and development, it can be said that a new life has been formed, which is the initial starting point of new life. The fertilized egg undergoes cell division, differentiation and development to form a gestational sac. However, at the beginning, the gestational sac is very small and cannot be observed even under ultrasound. It can only be observed under ultrasound after 30 to 40 days of pregnancy.
As the gestational sac continues to develop, it usually forms a gestational sac between 40 and 50 days of pregnancy, followed by the formation of a fetal heart between 50 and 60 days of pregnancy. Therefore, many pregnant women choose to go to the hospital for an early pregnancy B-ultrasound examination around 6 weeks of pregnancy to observe whether there is a gestational sac in the uterine cavity, as well as the formation of a gestational sac and fetal heart. If there is a gestational sac, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out.
Observing the presence of gestational sac, fetal bud, and fetal heart indicates that the embryo is growing and developing healthily. However, if only gestational sac, fetal bud, and fetal heart have not yet formed, pregnant women need not worry too much because sometimes delayed menstruation, late ovulation, late formation of fertilized eggs, or late implantation of fertilized eggs can affect the development of the embryo. As long as the gestational sac and fetal heart can form smoothly before 8 weeks of pregnancy, it indicates that the embryo is developing normally.
