Patient's question:
At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the ultrasound already showed a fetal pole and fetal heartbeat. But now at 10 weeks, I sometimes have abdominal pain, which improves after resting. In the past few days, my early pregnancy symptoms have almost disappeared (I've always had very mild symptoms since getting pregnant). My breasts are slightly tender, my nipples have shrunk, and my areolas have become lighter, as if I'm not pregnant at all. Is it possible that the pregnancy has stopped? I'm so worried.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The early pregnancy symptoms gradually disappear after more than two months of pregnancy, but this does not necessarily mean that the fetus has stopped developing because this is often a normal phenomenon.Advice: If there are no symptoms of irregular bleeding, it is recommended to relax and wait until after the 12th week of pregnancy to undergo prenatal examinations. At that time, the fetal heartbeat can be heard in the abdomen using a Doppler device.
Doctor's inquiry: Generally, doctors will advise women with signs of fetal demise to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
