Miscarriage Sign #6: Absence of Fetal Heartbeat
Hearing the heartbeats of your baby is incredible and one of the most precious moments in life. During prenatal visits, the fetal heartbeats are monitored in order to check if everything is just as it should be. Usually, fetal heartbeats are easily heard by the 10th gestational week during a prenatal visit.
In cases when the doctor can’t hear the fetal heartbeats any more, this is a sign that the baby has died or that the pregnancy never occurred. Ultrasound examinations are the ones that confirm the absence of fetal heartbeat.
