One of the concerns of pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy is fetal miscarriage. Because it is common for the fetus to stop conceiving around 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. Some pregnant women have noticed that their early pregnancy symptoms have suddenly stopped and suspect that the pregnancy has stopped. So, how to determine if the pregnancy has stopped at 10 weeks?
The method to determine fetal arrest at 10 weeks of pregnancy is to undergo ultrasound examination, because at this stage, the embryo already has fetal heart rate and fetal bud. If there was fetal heart rate before and it is found during re examination that it is no longer present, it is considered fetal arrest. If there is no fetal heart rate or fetal bud, it also means that the pregnancy has stopped. If the fetal heart rate and fetal buds are normal, but there is abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, it is often a symptom of threatened miscarriage.
If diagnosed with fetal arrest during hospital examination, timely treatment is necessary, including medication abortion and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is curettage, aimed at timely removal of embryonic tissue from the uterus. After surgery, there is often a small amount of bleeding, which is a normal phenomenon. It is important to rest more and have a light diet.
In order to determine the cause of fetal arrest, it is generally necessary to send the pregnancy tissue for examination, and if necessary, perform embryo chromosome examination. If the situation of fetal cessation occurs repeatedly and the chromosomes are also abnormal, both husband and wife should undergo chromosome examination.
