Hi,
A missed abortion, also known as a missed miscarriage, is a type of miscarriage where the pregnancy has stopped developing but the body has not yet recognized the loss. This means that the fetus may still be in the uterus, but there is no longer any fetal cardiac activity, and the pregnancy will not progress.
Based on the results of the second ultrasound, which shows a small fetal pole without any cardiac activity at 6 weeks, a missed abortion may have occurred. The next step would be to discuss the options with your doctor, which may include waiting for the body to naturally expel the pregnancy, taking medication to induce miscarriage, or undergoing a surgical procedure to remove the pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
