Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Stopping of fetal heart rate is suggestive of missed abortion and you need to terminate the pregnancy either by medical method or by D&C.
You should discuss with your doctor the most appropriate treatment for you.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
