Diagnosis of fetal demise: Patients with a history of missed periods should undergo an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy, regardless of whether spotting occurs, to avoid missing a diagnosis of fetal demise. Ultrasound monitoring of embryonic and fetal development is essential. If there is no gestational sac at ≥6 weeks, or if the gestational sac is deformed or shrunk despite its presence, and if a fetal pole is visible at ≥4 cm but no heartbeat is detected, or if the crown-rump length is ≥1.5 cm but no heartbeat is present, the embryo or fetus is considered to have abnormal development. The latter three conditions can be diagnosed as fetal demise. Additionally, blood β-hCG testing can also aid in the diagnosis of fetal demise. If ≥5 weeks, blood β-hCG
