During pregnancy, one of the criteria for fetal development for women is to assess the development of fetal heart rate and fetal buds. If there are still no fetal buds or fetal heart rate after a certain month, the fetus may have already miscarried. If a miscarriage has already occurred, expectant mothers must go to the uterus for curettage in a timely manner. So, what is the reason for the absence of fetal heart and fetal sprouts?
Studies have shown that fetal heart and fetal buds can be seen at 6-8 weeks of gestation. If there is no fetal heart or fetal bud after 8 weeks, it is considered as fetal arrest. The reason for fetal arrest may be due to the fetus itself, such as the fetus not adapting to the living environment of the uterus or having a congenital fatal disease leading to miscarriage; On the other hand, it is also possible that the mother's uterus is not suitable for development, exposure to radioactive and toxic substances in early pregnancy, abnormal sperm in the man, psychological factors, external environmental abnormalities, and other reasons require comprehensive examination to clarify the cause and scientific treatment.
If fetal heart and fetal sprouts are not detected, it is recommended to postpone the abdominal ultrasound or color ultrasound to the hospital for another week. The fetal heart rate usually appears around 6 weeks of pregnancy, and some women who ovulate late may experience it later. If there are no issues with the embryonic chromosomes themselves and there are no abnormalities in the fetal developmental organs, the likelihood of fetal arrest occurring after 15 weeks of pregnancy is very low. There are generally no obvious sexual symptoms without fetal heart and fetal sprouts, and some pregnant women may experience vaginal bleeding.
It is generally recommended that expectant mothers have at least three menstrual periods after a miscarriage or miscarriage in order to prepare for another pregnancy. If the expectant mother is not very old and there are no other factors affecting her, she should pay more attention to rest and strengthen nutrition in her daily life, so that the uterus can recover more fully.
