week 6 day 3, no heartbeat

Today went to re-visit gynae but baby still have no heartbeat. Initially cannot find the baby through abdominal ultrasound so doctor opt for vaginal ultrasound. Doctor say baby size is 3mm and still no heartbeat. Slightly smaller and have to re-visit at week 8. She prescribe me some medicine to help prevent miscarriage. I am feeling worried. Is there any signs i need to look out for or be careful.

At 3mm it’s difficult to see any heartbeat yet. You’re probably counting the dates using your period, but sometimes the dates using the scan findings can be quite different. What’s important for now is that they could find the baby in the womb using the vaginal ultrasound, so just keep positive first and wait for the next scan to see the size increase:)
