At 55 days of pregnancy, having a gestational sac but no fetal heartbeat is normal?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: My waist has been very sore and I've been very tired these past few days. Past Treatment and Effect: I just had an ultrasound. What help do I wish to receive: I finally got pregnant and I'm very afraid that the child will not be healthy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the heartbeat of the heart tube can be seen via ultrasound as early as the early stage of embryo development, as early as 6-8 weeks (counting from the first day of the last menstrual period). If the heartbeat is not detected by week 10, and the possibility of miscalculating the date of the last menstrual period is ruled out, it can be diagnosed as embryonic arrest, similar to the survival of the fittest in all species in nature. It may be due to the quality of the seed itself, which cannot develop successfully.
Moreover, fetal growth and development are not related to the size of the pregnant woman's abdomen. Some may have a uterus in a posterior position, while others have it in an anterior position. Therefore, some may show obvious signs, while others may still look like they are only 4-5 months pregnant even when they are close to delivery. As long as regular prenatal check-ups are performed and the doctor says there are no issues, everything will be fine. During pregnancy, the mother must remain calm and not have any worries.
