Often expectant mothers undergo their first examination at this time. A woman experiences a delay in menstruation (by about 3 weeks), so she, suspecting pregnancy, boldly goes to the gynecologist.
At the 5th week of gestation, it is still impossible to identify pathologies, assess the condition of the fetus, or determine the sex. However, during this period, ultrasound allows:
• hear the heartbeat of the embryo;
• diagnose normal and ectopic pregnancy;
• clarify the duration of pregnancy;
• identify the cause of delayed menstruation if there is no pregnancy.
