Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The fetus cannot survive now with nil amniotic fluid.
So if the fetus dies and remains inside the uterus it can lead to sepsis.
So you better take the tablets prescribed by your doctor to prevent these complications.
Sometimes D&C may also be needed as only medical treatment may not be enough to terminate 12 weeks pregnancy.
Take care.
