Hallow Dear,

Since there is no cardiac activity of the baby, the baby has become non-viable. Hence you have to terminate this pregnancy.

Tab. Mifepristone 200 mg followed after 24-48 hours by 800 micrograms is a safe and reliable method for terminating pregnancy up to 9 weeks of gestation. Usually the pregnancy gets terminated within 24 hours, however, in some cases it may require up to 7 days also. After 7 days, it is advisable to follow up with the Obstetrician.

It is advisable to confirm the completion of the abortion by ultrasonography. If incomplete abortion, needs surgical evacuation of the uterus.

I hope this helps you.
