Could Delayed Growth And Low Heart Beat Of Fetus Lead To Miscarriage?
I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days. The heartbeat was 89 and the size of the fetus measured only 6 weeks. I understand there's a risk of miscarriage but was wondering if there's any chance of a healthy pregnancy. What's the chance of miscarriage? 90%, 50%? I just want to prepare myself.
I'm having a follow-up scan next week.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The findings you have can be due to delayed conception also.
And 1 week lesser growth can be recovered with treatment . Heart beats & fetal growth needs to be reviewed after 1 months treatment . It may turn to normal.So prediction about abortion is not possible.
Please be positive & be prepared for worst.. before jumping to some conclusion.
Thanks.
