If the fetal heartbeat is not heard at 7 weeks of pregnancy, it is necessary to consider whether it is due to a longer menstrual cycle. Some women menstruate once every 40 to 50 days, so ovulation and fertilization occur later. It is recommended to conduct a follow-up examination to make a decision. Of course, many factors can affect the fetal heartbeat, so it is necessary to identify the cause before solving the problem.
1. For example, some cases are caused by embryonic arrest. Generally speaking, women can see the intrauterine gestational sac through vaginal ultrasound when they have stopped menstruating for 5 to 6 weeks. At 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal heartbeat can be monitored under ultrasound. If there is no fetal heartbeat for 7 to 8 weeks, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by embryonic arrest. If there is still no heartbeat after two weeks of reexamination, it is considered as embryonic arrest.
2. In fact, the early pregnancy period for women is also a process of survival of the fittest for embryos. If there is embryonic arrest, it indicates that there are still some problems with the embryo itself. Therefore, don't be too self-blaming or sad in this situation. Adjust your psychological and physical state and prepare for pregnancy again.
3. If embryonic arrest is confirmed, it is necessary to deal with it under the guidance of a doctor to remove the dead embryo from the uterus to prevent infection. More importantly, women must undergo regular check-ups during pregnancy to understand the healthy development of the fetus.
