Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and I have been pregnant for more than five months. But the other day, I noticed brown discharge in my underwear, so I quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The result told me that the pregnancy had stopped. Can a doctor help me determine when the fetal demise occurred?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed the situation you mentioned. You are currently five months pregnant. If the child in your stomach is not five months old, it is possible that development has stopped a long time ago. After fetal development stops, it may lose water and swell. I think you might not have had regular prenatal check-ups during your pregnancy, so you didn't notice this early on. There are some reasons for fetal demise.
