Question
Hello doctor,
I am 5.6 weeks pregnant. However, I had brown blood, the next morning red blood, no abdominal pain. I had a transducer ultrasound and was diagnosed with a distorted, irregular gestational sac, no fetal heartbeat. Therefore, the doctor concluded that the fetus stopped growing and assigned her to take the abortion pill tomorrow. Doctor let me ask, 6 weeks fetus does not have a fetal heart, is a distorted gestational sac dangerous?

Hello,
With the question "6 weeks fetus has not had a fetal heart, is a distorted gestational sac dangerous?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
With a gestational age of 5-6 weeks, a distorted gestational sac, no If there is no fetal heartbeat, it is impossible to definitively conclude that the fetus has stopped progressing. You should repeat ultrasound after 1-2 weeks or do more beta HCG test to assess fetal development after 48 hours. If the ultrasound results after 1-2 weeks of pregnancy show no fetal heartbeat or the beta HCG test decreases after 48 hours, it means that your pregnancy has stopped progressing. With a pregnancy that has definitely stopped progressing, there is no way to keep the pregnancy and you have to use drugs or aspiration to remove the pregnancy.
If you still have questions about your 6-week fetus, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
