"At 8 weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound is typically done to detect a gestational sac; yolk sac and a developing fetus with a heartbeat. Though, sometimes such a scan might illustrate no fetus or an empty gestational sac. This is due to a number of issues:
Incorrect Dating: In case ovulation or implantation took place later than we expected, pregnancy can be earlier than the date that was given to us.
Blighted Ovum (Anembryonic Pregnancy): It is a condition when the fertilized egg that got the uterus to implant, the embryo either stops growing early or never grows at all, resulting in an empty gestational sac.
Miscarriage: A missed miscarriage may lead to the fact that the fetus does not develop although pregnancy symptoms may still be there temporarily.
Ectopic Pregnancy: On rare occasions, besides that, a pregnancy can be found in some other place besides the uterus, normally this would be the fallopian tube and in such cases the pregnancy may be life-threatening, and therefore diagnosis should be done without delay.
It is essential to select a reliable medical establishment for correct diagnosis and considerate treatment. In case you search for the best maternity hospital, visit Benecare Maternity Hospital for professional assessment and comfortable pregnancy care."
