Scientists said ultrasound checks are resulting in some women with perfectly healthy pregnancies wrongly being told that their baby died in the womb. Women then usually would have a termination.If women experience pain or bleeding during a pregnancy, doctors scan the gestational sac inside the womb. If there is no embryo or the fetus has no heartbeat, they diagnose a miscarriage.
But where there is doubt, doctors are advised to measure the size of the gestational sac seven to 10 days later. If the sac has not grown, a miscarriage is assumed to have occurred. FoxNews
