What if there is no fetal heart?

The fetal heart is the heartbeat of the fetus. Normally, B ultrasound can be done at about seven to eight weeks of pregnancy to find the fetal bud and fetal heart. If there is no fetal heart and fetal bud at this time, it is considered to be an empty gestational sac after eliminating the error of gestational weeks. Abortion surgery is needed when necessary. If the fetus develops normally in the early stage, the fetal heart will beat more strongly. Generally, stethoscope can be used at about 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy to hear the fetal heart from the abdomen of pregnant women. If fetal arrest is later detected, in this case, the first step is to go to the hospital. If it has indeed stopped developing, induction of labor should be taken as soon as possible to expel the fetus from the uterus, and the cause of fetal arrest should be carefully investigated.
