What Causes Missing Heartbeat Of Fetus At 7 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
I am Pallabi Manna (Das),age 33 years from India. At present,I am Pregnant in 7 weeks running and also LMP started on 19.11.2015.Then, I went for my first ultrasound on 8th January,2016.(when 6 weeks), but there was found only SAC without heart beat. So, I am very worried about baby s heat bit. So, I request to you please suggest me what can I do at this moment ?
Gestational sac without heart activity means it is a sac without baby. This is called blighted ovum. Please repeat the scan after one week. If still the heart activity cannot be seen and if the margins of sac have become irregular, the diagnosis of blighted ovum is confirmed. Such pregnancies do not grow. If you do not abort naturally in spite of blighted ovum, you will have to undergo termination of pregnancy.
If after one week foetal cardiac activity is seen in the scan, then nothing to worry. It is normal pregnancy.
I hope this helps you.
