Is there hair yet?? 18 week ultrasound

Question

I feel like I see it but I’m not sure if that’s what it is lol.

Answer

By week 14, hair follicles begin sprouting on babies head & by the 15th week a hair pattern begins to appear on babies scalp as the follicles push through the skin. Hair continues growing on babies head throughout pregnancy but it’ll go through a couple shedding processes. 1st sprouts of hair formed at 15 weeks will shed twice before baby is born ❤️ Hair appears as a little halo on the U/S scan. Hope this helps! I looked at all of my babies U/S scans to try & see if I could detect hair & I can’t 😂although all of my babies so far have been born with nice hair ❤️ I think on your US the fuzzy spots on babies scalp could definitely be the beginning of hair. I write way too much! I’ll stop rambling 😂

Answer

No it’s too early for hair and you won’t see it in ultrasound
