Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello!
My wife is about 7 weeks pregnant. After the hospital examination today, the ultrasound described it as: the uterus is anteverted, slightly enlarged, with uniform wall echoes. A gestational sac echo was observed in the uterine cavity, with regular shape and size of 3621mm. A 10mm embryonic echo was seen inside. However, no primitive heart tube was observed, but a yolk sac echo was visible. No abnormal echoes were found in the bilateral adnexal regions.
Could you please tell me if the baby can still be saved?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, don't worry, this situation is very rare. Since you are in the early stages of pregnancy, it is normal not to hear the fetal heartbeat. As long as there is no bleeding or abdominal pain, everything is fine. You can come back for a follow-up checkup in two weeks.
