Being pregnant is an exciting time, but it can also be nerve-wracking. If you're 7 weeks pregnant but there's no heartbeat, it can be a scary and confusing time. Here's what you need to know:
What Does It Mean If There's No Heartbeat at 7 Weeks?
At 7 weeks pregnant, your baby's heart should be beating. If there's no heartbeat, it could mean a few different things:
* The pregnancy is not viable and will not continue
* The pregnancy is viable, but it's too early to detect a heartbeat
* The ultrasound was not performed correctly or the equipment was not sensitive enough to detect the heartbeat
If you've been told that there's no heartbeat at 7 weeks, it's important to follow up with your OB-GYN to determine the next steps.
What Are the Next Steps?
If there's no heartbeat at 7 weeks, your OB-GYN may recommend:
* A follow-up ultrasound in a week or two to see if there's been any change
* A blood test to check your hormone levels
* A D&C procedure to remove the pregnancy if it's not viable
It's important to follow your OB-GYN's recommendations and take care of yourself during this time.
