What Causes Lack Of Cardiac Activity In Fetus During 7 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Had 2 missed periods took 2 HPT both positive n confirmed by Dr. By calculation on my last period i was suppose to be 12wks pregnant but I just went for an ultrasound to find out exactly how far along i was. The ultrasound measured me at 7 wks but no heart beat does this mean Im going to miscarry? If so why do i have no signs of a miscarriage? Could the baby still be ok?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
It is very sad to know about your miscarriage. If at 7 weeks baby size baby's heart beats are not seen , it is a miscarriage for sure. You need to undergo evacuation.
In many such cases there are genetic abnormality of severe kind and it is nature's way to prevent baby to grow with such defects. Please do not worry, it's not the end.
I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.Avoid substance abuse, if any.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
