Accidentally pregnant, not sure if I can keep it?

Patient's question:

All symptoms: Onset time and cause: My period has been a week late, and I thought it was due to irregular menstruation. But after testing, I found out I was pregnant. However, in March of this year, I had an emergency miscarriage due to fetal abnormalities. Now I regret not going to a big hospital for further examination back then. My body has just recovered, and I haven't checked for any issues yet because I often get chest pain when I get angry. Although an ECG once said everything was fine. I really don't want to miscarry again.
Treatment history: Desired help: I want to know if I can keep this child? What other tests can I still do? I'm so anxious. Please reply to me in your busy schedule.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally at 5 weeks of pregnancy, a gestational sac can be seen on ultrasound, while at 6-8 weeks, fetal movement and heartbeat can be observed, and the embryo begins to take on a human shape. By 12 weeks, external genitalia have developed, and by 16 weeks, fetal movement can be felt. At 20 weeks, the fetal heartbeat can be heard, and by 24 weeks, all organs have developed. By 28 weeks, breathing movements can be observed. You can regularly follow up to monitor the development of the fetus.
If you want to have a child, you should also undergo a gynecological examination at the hospital to rule out any cysts, inflammation, or developmental issues with your uterus or ovaries, as well as your overall physical health indicators. If everything is normal, you can proceed with having a child. After all, miscarriage is harmful to your body, and it is important not to have too many miscarriages.
