Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.

View allI'm experiencing severe pain in my thighs and entire leg, and a 5 cm cyst was found in Vadodara. The doctor is recommending surgery to remove my ovary, but I'm unmarried and would prefer laparoscopic surgery. Can you advise if this is the right approach and suggest any specialist doctors or hospitals for this procedure in Ahmedabad or Delhi?
Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and fertility-sparing option—seek a gynecologist in Ahmedabad or Delhi with minimally invasive expertise.

I've been dealing with soreness in one of my nipples for a few days now, and its really uncomfortable when I touch it. A few months back, I had some discharge from the same nipple and underwent an ultrasound and several blood tests, but everything came back negative. Ive been on birth control pills for about 7 years. Any ideas on why I might be experiencing this pain, even though there's no discharge or other issues right now?
