Will the gestational sac grow bigger if the fetus stops growing?

Generally, fetal arrest is the most common phenomenon in women in the early stages of pregnancy, because at this time the baby exists in the form of a fertilized egg and a gestational sac. When the gestational sac and the fertilized egg stop developing and growing, fetal arrest occurs. And I believe that pregnant women who have experienced fetal arrest will find it difficult to forget the heavy physical and mental blow it brought to them. If the embryo stops developing, will the gestational sac continue to grow?

Will the gestational sac grow after the fetus stops growing?

The cessation of gestational sac development refers to the death of the embryo during development. The fertilized egg no longer grows and develops in the early stages of development due to various reasons. This is called fetal arrest. If the embryo stops developing, all the pregnancy reactions of the baby's mother will gradually disappear, and the gestational sac carrying the baby will also stop developing and no longer grow.

How to prevent fetal growth retardation

1. Psychological relaxation

Women who are preparing to become pregnant should not worry too much about it, whether they or their friends have experienced fetal growth retardation. Tension and stress can lead to endocrine imbalance in the body, which is also detrimental to the healthy development of the embryo and fetus.

2. Pre-pregnancy preparation

Female friends should have an appropriate preparation period, pay attention to a balanced diet, regular life, physical exercise, pre-pregnancy check-ups, etc., and actively participate in health classes specially prepared for expectant mothers at the Women and Children's Hospital, communicate more with doctors, and fully understand various pregnancy knowledge before, during and after pregnancy.

3. Check in time

Generally, the embryo will have a fetal heartbeat at around 8 weeks, and fetal growth retardation may occur at 8-12 weeks. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women have an ultrasound at around 8 weeks in order to check the development of the fetus and placenta as early as possible. If the fetal heartbeat is present, you can generally rest assured.

I believe that after reading this article, all pregnant friends will be able to clearly understand whether the gestational sac will continue to grow after fetal arrest. This is some knowledge that pregnant friends should understand. In order for our baby to be born smoothly, we should take preventive measures against fetal growth retardation to avoid any accidents.
