Hello,

Sorry to hear that, however if the treating Obstetrician is unable to detect Fetal heart sounds by the Doppler, you should get USG done to confirm the viability of the foetus.

Congenital heart defects can also be confirmed by USG before childbirth so that treatment can be started earlier.

No fetal heart beat is commonly detected when genetic material in the chromosome was not right & development delays causes the heart to stop.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
