Patient's question:
Doctor, I had a blood test and ultrasound last Wednesday when I was 42 days pregnant. The progesterone level was low, and there was no fetal heartbeat or fetal bud. On Saturday, I had another blood test, and the progesterone level didn't change. The doctor said there wasn't a major problem, but the hCG value didn't double as expected. He told me to do another ultrasound in four more days. Now I'm very worried. The doctor mentioned "natural selection," is my baby not developing well?Doctor's answer:
Doctor means that if the embryo's growth and development is poor, it will spontaneously miscarry. If the embryo develops normally, the values will gradually and completely return to normal. You should take folic acid early in pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects. You cannot eat foods that promote blood circulation, such as crab legs, hawthorn turtle, longan, etc. The above is the advice for the question "Doctor, I had a blood test and ultrasound last Wednesday. How can I do better?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
