The Trans-Pacific Partnership has been put under scrutiny by many environmental protection agencies who do not believe the agreement does enough to protect the oceans and the illegal trafficking of endangered species.
Gestational Age Week 7 (Fetal Age: 5 weeks) Generally from 6 Â½ -7 weeks is the time when a heartbeat can be detected and viability can be assessed. A normal heartbeat at 6-7 weeks would be 90-110 beats per minute. The presence of an embryonic heartbeat is an assuring sign of the health of the pregnancy. Once a heartbeat is detected, the chance of the pregnancy continuing ranges from 70-90% dependent on what type of ultrasound is used.
A 2006 study showed no gender-related differences in fetal heart rate during the first trimester, but Mass says that's no surprise, considering that babies' hearts beat faster in general during the first 28 to 30 weeks of pregnancy. It's later in the pregnancy when the difference becomes apparent.
