Patient's question:
On November 11, 2018, my period arrived, and it was clean on the 16th. This is the first time I had my period after weaning my first child. On November 16th, November 24th, December 1st, and December 14th, we had sex. All of them tested positive for pregnancy on December 26th with a pregnancy test. It was a strong positive. Today, I had an ultrasound examination, but no fetal bud was seen. Is it possible that the baby has stopped growing?Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual cycle is regular and early pregnancy can be confirmed, generally around the seventh week of pregnancy, an ultrasound can be performed for a detailed examination to observe the fetal bud and fetal heartbeat. During early pregnancy, the fertilized egg is still in the process of implantation and growth, which is not yet stable. It is necessary to have enhanced rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and refrain from lifting heavy objects. Sexual activity must also be strictly prohibited to prevent threatened miscarriage.After conception, there may be different symptoms of early pregnancy reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and drowsiness, which will gradually improve.
