You're pregnant. So, is this pregnancy progressing healthily?
You are pregnant, congratulations! But how can you tell if the pregnancy will progress healthily? Here are the key signs:
The first step is the Beta-HCG test.
When pregnancy is first detected, the Beta-HCG level in the blood is very important.
After 48 hours, this value should increase by at least 66%. In other words, with just two blood tests, it can be understood whether the pregnancy is progressing healthily.
Step 2: Vaginal ultrasound
Once your Beta-HCG value rises above 1500, you should have a vaginal ultrasound performed by a gynecologist.
Many patients ask: “But doctor, does vaginal ultrasound harm the pregnancy?”
The answer is clear: No, it does not.
At this stage, the gestational sac should be visible, which rules out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy.
The next critical step is hearing the heartbeat,
Which can usually be detected from the 6th week of pregnancy, but for the most accurate evaluation, it is best to wait until the 7th week.
Next step is week 12
We calculate pregnancy starting from the first day of your last period.
The moment you suspect pregnancy — and women usually feel it — it’s best to consult a doctor.
And remember: If you safely pass the 12th week of pregnancy, in most cases, the pregnancy will continue normally.
