A member asked:
There are no signs of miscarrige, yet there is no fetal heartbeat. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Already Answered?: First of all it takes several weeks before Heart Beat is detected (>5), second the fetal heart beat is sometimes technically difficult to hear (auscultate) due to fetal position. Once heart beat established, if fetus is moving around it does have a heart beat. Still it should be detected at each doc visit to make sure rate is appropriate for fetal age.
