What Are The Baby's Chances Of Surviving With No Heartbeat At 6 Weeks And Collapsing Uterus ?

I had an ultrasound this morning that showed me at 6 weeks. They could see the baby but no heartbeat ( too early they said) but my uterus was an oval oblong shape and appeared to collapse in the middle but only during some views. Other views appeared to have no collapsing. What are my baby's chances of surviving? I go back next week to see if the baby has grown and has a heartbeat.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
In my opinion you should wait for another 1 week to see the heart beat because it may appear at 7weeks also.
Shape of the uterus is important for growth of your baby but in my opinion you should wait for 1 week.
Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
