Fetal arrest mainly refers to the phenomenon where the embryo dies and stops developing due to certain factors at a certain stage of development. As women, we all know that fetal arrest often occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, but many women are not sure about the specific number of weeks before pregnancy. Therefore, some women have asked, is it still easy for fetal arrest to occur after 10 weeks of pregnancy?
Fetal arrest mainly occurs within 12 weeks of pregnancy, and the reasons for fetal arrest include empty gestational sac, presence of fetal bud without fetal heartbeat, or temporary appearance and disappearance of fetal heart. The reasons for fetal arrest vary depending on the stage. In clinical medicine, the 10th week of pregnancy is usually used as a node to distinguish between fetal arrest within 10 weeks of pregnancy, mainly due to chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo. Fetal arrest after 10 weeks of pregnancy may be caused by uterine diseases or immune factors.
Women should know that the appearance of fetal bud and fetal heart rate is a key indicator of the healthy and normal development of the embryo, and fetal bud and fetal heart rate usually appear before 8 weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, through B-ultrasound examination, it can be confirmed that the fetal bud and fetal heart rate have formed normally and the embryo development is not abnormal. As long as it enters 10 weeks of pregnancy, it can be considered as the most dangerous stage of early pregnancy, and the probability of embryonic arrest will be relatively reduced.
Vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain are common symptoms of female fetal arrest. Therefore, when these two symptoms appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible for B-ultrasound examination and blood β - hCG measurement to comprehensively determine the diagnosis. Once diagnosed, as fetal arrest will not be discharged on its own, artificial abortion is needed to help women terminate pregnancy. After surgery, it is best for women to go to the hospital to find the specific cause of fetal arrest and avoid the recurrence of fetal arrest.
