Hello and welcome,

This is indeed a very unfortunate incident and I share your emotions.

However unfortunately once the heart beat has stopped then it is not possible to regain it and delivery of the baby as soon as possible is needed.

It would help to look for the reason for this incident. Many times anomalies in the placenta or the umbilical cord, genetic defects in the baby as well as infections in the mother lead to such issues. So discuss this with your doctor and get the patient as well as the baby evaluated so as to prevent such an accident in future.

I understand your predicament.
All my good wishes are with you for future.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.

Hi, thanks for writing..
There is no way to regain the stopped heart beat.. But get a scan repeated to see for cardiac activity.. the exact cause of the demise of the fetus should be detected to prevent the recurrence of the same in future pregnancy..If cardiac activity has stopped it would be better to terminate this pregnancy at the earliest.. Hope i have answered your query.. good day..
