What to do if there is no embryo in the early stage of pregnancy? Expectant mothers must remember

The early stages of pregnancy are a period of both excitement and nervousness for every expectant mother, because the little life has just entered the mother's belly, and the mother has no way of knowing whether he is healthy or what nutrients he needs. Therefore, prenatal check-ups are very important. However, many expectant mothers did not detect the presence of the embryo during their prenatal check-ups in the early stages of pregnancy. What should they do? Let’s find out together!

If the menstruation is regular, generally speaking, the embryonic bud and fetal heartbeat will appear after 50 days of pregnancy. If the conception time is delayed, the time of the embryonic bud and fetal heartbeat will also be delayed, and generally will not exceed 60 days at the latest.

As the embryo develops, the gestational sac is formed in 30-40 days, the fetal bud is formed in 40-50 days, and the fetal heart is formed in 50-60 days. Therefore, B-ultrasound should generally be done around 60 days. At this time, you can see whether the gestational sac, fetal bud, and fetal heart are normal. The period from the third trimester to the first month and four weeks of pregnancy is called the embryonic stage. The embryo is 0.5-1 cm long and shaped like a small seahorse.

After the hospital confirms that there is no embryo, you need to consider whether it is still necessary to preserve the fetus. Keeping the dead embryo in the uterus for a long time will cause missed abortion, which will make surgical treatment difficult, affect the health of the mother and be unfavorable for the next pregnancy.

Dietary considerations during early pregnancy

Pregnant women need to pay great attention to their diet in the early stages of pregnancy. It is best to consume more nutrients that are beneficial to the development of the embryo, such as high-quality protein, fatty acids, heat energy, multiple vitamins and mineral elements. It is best to eat less or no spicy food, fried food, and some foods that easily cause getting a sore throat.

1. Protein intake. This period is when the body stores relatively more protein, with the fetus retaining about 170g and the mother retaining about 375g. This requires that pregnant women's dietary protein supply increase by 25g compared to non-pregnant women, and they should consume more animal and soy foods.

2. Essential fatty acids. This period is the peak period for fetal brain cell proliferation. Adequate essential fatty acids such as arachidonic acid are needed to meet the needs of brain development. Eating more marine fish can help supply DHA.

3. Intake of calcium and iron. More than half of the calcium in the fetus is stored in the late pregnancy. Pregnant women should consume 1500 mg of calcium daily and supplement with an appropriate amount of vitamin D. The fetal liver stores iron at a rate of 5 mg per day during this period, reaching 300-400 mg of iron by birth. Pregnant women should consume 28 mg of iron per day, and should consume more hemoglobin-type iron from animal foods.

4. Pregnant women should consume milk, fish and soy products regularly. It is best to fry small fish or crisp them with vinegar and eat them with bones, and drink pork rib soup. Shrimp skin is rich in calcium, so you can put a little in the soup; animal liver and blood are high in iron.
