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

Patient's question:

At 10 weeks pregnant, ultrasound did not show 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, wise doctors, explain quickly. Waiting online.

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. Prolonged delay may lead to intrauterine infection. After the abortion, rest in bed for three days, and avoid heavy physical labor within half a month. Eat more nutrient-rich, high-protein foods, avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods, take folic acid, and prepare for irregular pregnancy tests.
