Hello doctor,
I am 8 days late for my period, try 2 lines, ultrasound results are 5 weeks pregnant, the doctor makes an appointment for another 2 weeks to check. After 2 weeks, I went to the doctor and concluded that there was no fetal heartbeat and the fetus stopped growing only through ultrasound, but I still had normal morning sickness with no abdominal pain, no bleeding. So the doctor asked me if the pregnancy stopped growing but no bleeding was dangerous? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is the pregnancy not growing but not bleeding dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
5 days after conception, the zygote has developed into a small mass, ultrasound at this time still does not clearly see the embryo. According to the fetal development process, the fetal heart begins to form quite clearly, with a beat about 22 days after conception. Fetal heart appears and can be observed with modern ultrasound techniques from 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. Thus, in most cases, the fetal heart rate appears before the mother realizes that she is pregnant. However, there are also many cases where the fetus at 8 - 10 weeks can only hear the heartbeat and clearly observe the fetal heart, this depends mainly on errors in the calculation of gestational age. Your case can continue to be monitored for 1 to 2 weeks and Beta HCG test for prognosis.
If you still have questions about fetal growth restriction, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
