An ectopic pregnancy is usually detected between 5 to 8 weeks through a transvaginal ultrasound. At 2 weeks, it's almost impossible to see on a scan. Please consult your gynac if you have severe cramping or abnormal spotting.

It is a beautiful surprise of nature and also completely illegal to check gender in India. Just keep your prayers positive and accept whatever blessing God sends you with open arms and a happy heart.

A Beta HCG blood test can detect pregnancy around 10 days post-conception, even before you miss your period. It is much more sensitive than home kits. If you are anxious, just get a prescription from your doctor and get it done.

Stop overthinking and just be ready because the baby can arrive anytime now. Get your house cleaned up, keep your baby cot ready, and make sure your hospital bag is packed. Trust your body, you are going to do amazing.

A short cervix is something only your doctor can diagnose via a transvaginal ultrasound. My hospital staff was very proactive and checked this during my anomaly scan. Please consult your gynac to understand your options, like a cerclage or progesterone.
