Hello doctor, I have an ultrasound at 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant, the amniotic sac is thin, there is a 6mm embryo, a 5mm yolk, but no fetal heart, the doctor concluded that the pregnancy was stillborn. Doctor let me ask 7 weeks pregnant, thin amniotic sac, 6mm embryo, 5mm yolk, but no fetal heart, is there still hope? Thank you doctor!

Hello! If based on ultrasound, it is not enough to diagnose stillbirth because the latest criteria for diagnosing stillbirth is the head-buttock length greater than 7mm without a fetal heart. However, in your case, the possibility of stillbirth is high, you should have an ultrasound again after 3 days.
