Is it possible for a baby to be considered deceased if there is no movement or heartbeat detected during an ultrasound examination, leading the doctor to suspect fetal demise?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

Yes, it is possible for a baby to be considered deceased if there is no movement or heartbeat detected during an ultrasound examination. When a doctor observes these signs, they may suspect fetal demise. However, further tests and evaluations are necessary to confirm this diagnosis. These may include repeat ultrasounds, blood tests, and physical examinations. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for accurate information and guidance in such situations.

6 week ultrasound  is too early  to check baby heartbeat or movements. 



Go again for ultrasound  in 9 th week please to recheck.

Heartbeat is generally felt at 7 weeks via internal sonography. Dont stress. It will do more harm to the baby. Relax. If its meant ti be it shall be. Remember its all in gods hands and you have no control.

I don't know if I'm just different from everyone else but I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks or days they were able to find a heartbeat it's in my ultrasound pictures. Does this mean I'm further along than what they say?
