Patient's question:
I am 11 weeks pregnant, but when I went for my prenatal check-up yesterday, I found out that I have experienced fetal demise. I don't know what caused it, so now I want to know if there is still a chance of fetal demise at 11 weeks?Doctor's answer:
Children stop growing and developing, generally speaking, this is when the fertilized egg's gestational sac implants in the uterus. However, upon careful examination, there is no embryonic structure or ancient cardiovascular, meaning no heartbeat or the child is not developing. These situations are all manifestations of fetal demise, where the child stops growing and developing. It can occur at any time, meaning if the ancient cardiovascular in the gestational sac disappears at 11 weeks, it is considered a miscarriage.
