Is there any hope if there is no fetal heartbeat after 70 days?

Fetal heartbeat is an important indicator for testing fetal vital signs. It is also a very important reference for checking fetal development. Generally, fetal heartbeat can be measured when the fetus is growing and developing normally. So some people want to know, is it still possible to keep the baby if there is no fetal heartbeat at 70 days of pregnancy? Next, let’s take a look at it together.

The embryonic bud and fetal heart refer to the first two weeks of the development stage during the combination of sperm and egg, which is called the pregnant egg. After that, various organs are gradually formed. Before the 8th week of pregnancy, it is called the embryo (or embryonic bud). The period from the third month of pregnancy to the first four weeks of pregnancy is called the embryonic bud and fetal heart rate period. Due to the growth and development of the test tube embryo, the gestational sac is produced on day 30-40, the embryonic bud and fetal heartbeat are produced on day 40-50, and the fetal heartbeat is produced on day 50-60. Therefore, the general B-ultrasound should be done around day 60. At this time, you can see whether the gestational sac, embryonic bud and fetal heartbeat are normal. The period from the third month of pregnancy to the first four weeks of pregnancy is called the embryonic bud and fetal heart rate period. The embryonic bud and fetal heart are 0.5-1 cm in size and look like a small seahorse.

Generally, the earliest time for the embryo to appear is around 36 days of pregnancy, and the latest is around 50 days. If there is no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat on the 70th day of pregnancy, it is very likely that the embryo has stopped developing. If the menstrual cycle is relatively long, it may also be caused by this. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up after one week to diagnose whether everything is normal. It is recommended to take folic acid tablets in time until the third month of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus, improve nutrition and balance the diet, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue, have regular prenatal check-ups, and seek medical attention in time if you feel unwell. The fetal heartbeat is the heart rate of the fetus. Generally, the fetal heartbeat can be heard by normal auscultation in the abdomen between 17 and 20 weeks. The fetal heartbeat is between 120 and 160 beats per minute, sometimes faster, and not very regular. It becomes more regular in the later stages of pregnancy.

The above is a detailed introduction to whether the fetus can be kept if there is no fetal heartbeat after 70 days. In short, if there is still no fetal heartbeat after 70 days of pregnancy, it mostly indicates that the test tube embryo has already stopped growing and developing, and it is best to have an abortion as soon as possible to avoid risks. I hope this article can help everyone.
