The development of a fetus is a long process, from an inconspicuous fertilized egg to a little baby, and this process is wonderful. During the process of fetal development, some pregnant women are very curious and may ask some questions during ultrasound examinations to understand how long it usually takes for fetal heart and fetal buds to develop?
If the gestational sac can develop normally after pregnancy, the fetal heart and embryo can usually be detected through ultrasound examination at 50 days of gestation. However, the health status of each pregnant woman is different, and the development speed of the gestational sac may also vary. Some pregnant women may have a later appearance of fetal heart and fetal buds. Pregnant women who cannot see fetal heart rate and fetal buds temporarily can have a follow-up examination after 8 weeks of pregnancy to check the fetal development status again.
If a pregnant woman goes to the hospital for examination after 8 weeks of pregnancy and still cannot find fetal heart rate and fetal bud, it may be due to abnormal fetal development, and there is a possibility of fetal arrest. In order to confirm whether the fetus has stopped, it is recommended that pregnant women further test their blood HCG values. If HCG growth is not ideal, it may be due to fetal arrest.
Pregnant women who have been diagnosed with fetal arrest should actively take measures to terminate their pregnancy. Although pregnant women may have some reluctance, they must deal with it in a timely manner, otherwise the gestational sac will dry and shrink in the uterus, increasing the difficulty of abortion, which will pose a safety hazard to pregnant women. Timely treatment is the correct approach.
