When pregnant women become pregnant, they are always excited and happy, but after a while, many pregnant women begin to worry about fetal abnormalities and developmental problems. In fact, as long as pregnant women take good care of themselves during pregnancy, there will rarely be any abnormal fetal development. However, some people want to know what causes a fetus to have no fetal heart rate?
In general, when a pregnant woman is seven or eight weeks pregnant, the fetal heart rate will grow out. If the fetal heart rate is not seen during the examination, pregnant women do not need to be nervous. They can continue the pregnancy for one or two weeks and then go for another examination. It is possible that the fetal development is slow, so it needs to be postponed for a few weeks to see their fetal heart rate development. If the fetal heart rate does not develop and the size of the gestational sac does not change after several weeks of examination, it is possible that the fetus has stopped developing and pregnant women need to seek early treatment.
The absence of fetal heart rate means that the fetus has stopped developing. The reasons that may cause the fetus to stop developing may be exposure to harmful substances, radiation, or taking drugs that affect embryonic development, or having bad habits such as smoking and drinking. If pregnant women are found to have abnormal fetal heartbeat during fetal heart monitoring in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, it may be due to hypoxia or fetal growth arrest caused by viral and bacterial infections.
Anyway, when a pregnant woman discovers that the fetal heartbeat has stopped, she should not be overly sad. Instead, she should pick herself up, go to the hospital for examination and treatment, understand the reasons for the fetal heartbeat to stop developing, and then receive targeted treatment to avoid such problems from happening again in the future. In addition, pregnant women who become pregnant again should pay attention to staying away from harmful substances, radiation, etc., and if they feel unwell, they should see a doctor instead of taking medication without authorization, which may affect fetal development.
