What Causes Absence Of Heart Beat In Fetus At 60 Days Of Pregnancy?
I m in 60 days of my pregnancy. I had my scan 2days before and the doctor said that no heart beat for baby. I took 200mg gestone injection daily for 14 days. Will this injection is the cause for baby heartbeat not present or what may be the reason for this?

Hallow Dear,
You should not have taken Gestone injection in the pregnancy with absent heartbeats. Gestone which is Progesterone preparation stabilizes the pregnancy with Progesterone deficiency when the baby is still alive. In your case, the baby is no more viable as indicated by absent heartbeats. This Inj. Gestone will now arrest the process of abortion and will lead to Missed abortion.
Please report to your Obstetrician. You will be advised termination of pregnancy. Please follow the advise. There is no point is retaining a non-viable baby inside the uterus.
Not terminating a missed abortion in time may land into complication of heavy bleeding due to clotting defects (DIC), infection, etc.
Hope you get an important message,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
