What Causes Lack Of Heartbeat And Light Spotting At 6 Weeks Pregnancy?
Question: Now I am 9 weeks pregnant but tvs scan is showing the growth to be of 6weeks and no heart beat found. Had light spotting 3 days back but now stopped.i'm taking progesterone 400mg per day tablets. What are the chances of survival of my baby?
Brief Answer:
No chances of survival.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At 9 weeks gestation the fetus growth is lagging by three weeks with no heart beat. The chances of survival of the baby are not there. It is a missed abortion. The slight spotting that you had will gradually increase once you stop taking progesterone. It is best to consult your gynecologist and get a D&C done.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Now I am trying to conceive with the 2nd baby. My blood group is rh negative and my first child daughter is rh positive. She is 3 n a half years old. I took anti d during pregnancy as well as after delivery. And after that I had an abortion in February at 7 weeks and now the same is happening at 9 weeks. Wat could be the other possibilities for abortion.? What are the tests to be taken? I did not taken any contraceptives in this period.
Brief Answer:
Needs investigations to find cause.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A missed abortion at 9 weeks needs detailed investigations to rule out any genital infections, anti phospholipid syndrome or cervical incompetence. Please do consult your gynecologist after the pregnancy is terminated for proper investigations.

You can wait for a week to be more sure.
Detailed Answer:
You can wait for a week to be more sure as you still are having symptoms of pregnancy. These symptoms can be due to progesterone that you are taking.
