Question
I want to ask the doctor that, when my wife went to the antenatal clinic, she got an ultrasound, diagnosed about 6 to 7 weeks pregnant. The embryo is a bit small, the fetal heart rate is 2/5. The doctor said that the fetus is small and weak. My wife had a miscarriage last time. This time, I am so worried about being pregnant. The doctor said to follow up in 1 week to see how. My wife still suffers from morning sickness for days and days, no abdominal pain or discharge at all. There is a history of stillbirth, how to keep the next pregnancy? Thank you doctor!

Hello! Regarding ultrasound, it is necessary to clearly determine the size of the fetus, the status of the yolk sac, the size of the amniotic sac, the status of the placenta to have enough information. You should go to a specialist facility to examine and do more tests on thyroid and blood sugar, because these are two diseases that can cause stillbirth and effectively treat them.
You can visit a hospital of Vinmec Health System nationwide for a doctor to give you more advice and give the most appropriate treatment.
