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.
