Is It Possible For The Fetus To Grow With No Cardiac Activity?

Hi, my name is Alisha Smith. I am now 13weeks pregnant I was told that my baby had no cardiac activity & stopped growing@ 6 weeks but upon my return @ 10 weeks I was told my baby had actually grown 2 more inches. How is that possible if there is no cardiac activity?

Hello, at such an advanced gestation there is no hope for growth if ultrasound is suggestive of absent cardiac activity.
