hi... m 11 weeks pregnant... last week when i went for a routine checkup with my gynae, she told me that my baby has no visible heartbeat and the foetus is just 8+3 weeks old... Doctor is suspecting the foetus is of poor growth. She had advised me to take Corion 5000IU Injection for 3 weeks and if any improvements are not found then, I have to terminate my pregnancy. I donâ€™t want to abort my child. Is it healthy and safe to continue with my pregnancy if the results will come fine?

Pls guide me and tell me what should I do now!

i suggest you undergo the d and c. And thereâ€™s no problem if you get pregnant immediately. ...
