What should I do if there is no fetal heartbeat or embryonic bud seen on a 10-week ultrasound?

Patient's question:

At 10 weeks of pregnancy, ultrasound did not detect fetal heartbeat or embryonic development. Progesterone level is 23, with dark brown discharge. Can the baby still be saved? I really want to keep the baby. Please help explain quickly, online waiting.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the absence of fetal heartbeat and fetal bud at ten weeks indicates that the fetus has stopped growing and developing, and it cannot be saved. It is recommended that you terminate the early pregnancy as soon as possible. If left too long, it may lead to intrauterine infection. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for three days. Avoid heavy physical labor within half a month. Eat more nutrient-rich, high-protein foods, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Take folic acid, and prepare for irregular prenatal examinations.
