Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I carefully passed through your medical history and would explain that there are different causes for the fetal heart to stop during after 13 week:

-fetal hypoxia due to abnormal uterine vessels
-cardiac malformations of the fetus
-other vessel malformations of the fetus.

You should know that the ultrasound is not very sensitive in the first weeks for certain malformations. That is why it can result normal, even when a disorder is encountered later.

Coming to this point, there is not any specific measured to be taken during the next pregnancy, besides a periodical check up with echography and blood lab tests by the gynecologist.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Greetings!
Dr. Iliri
