Mrs. B：
I'm just pregnant but I am suffering from bleeding...
I received a Progesterone injection... But I still see a small amount of bleeding (not red but brown). Is this normal? What shall pregnant women eat more for better nutrition and to be less likely to have an abortion?

1. You mentioned that there is a small amount of bleeding right after pregnancy (not red but brown), therefor, you are still required to go to the hospital to have a checkup, because there is a 15 ~ 30% chance of miscarriage in the first three months of pregnancy.

Hello, Professor Lee. I'm pregnant for about 5 weeks. But I suffer from bleeding recently (brown). Is this normal?
In addition, I would like to ask what week will the fetus to have heartbeats?? Is there still a high probability of miscarriage after having heartbeats?

Answer：
The bleeding during early pregnancy may be implantation bleeding. It is recommended that you return to the hospital for consultation, take medicines and injections on time.
The vaginal ultrasound can detect fetal heartbeats at 6 or 7 weeks, the abdominal ultrasound can detect fetal heartbeats after 8 weeks.

Mrs. E：
At the 6th week of pregnancy, the fetus continues to grow up without the detection of heartbeats. I would like to ask if the fetus does not have heartbeats, will the pregnant woman suffer from morning sickness? What to do if the fetal heartbeats still cannot be detected? Does the use of abdominal ultrasound affect the fetus?

Answer：

1. At 6 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus can be observed without detecting the heartbeats. Some fetuses were detected to have heartbeats later until the 7^th weeks.
    
2. If the fetus does not have heartbeats, and the pregnant woman still suffers from morning sickness, it’s because of the exist of B-HCG in the mother.
    
3. The use of abdominal ultrasound or vaginal ultrasound will not affect the fetus. Please return to birth checkup regularly so that the doctor can master the growth of the fetus and make the best improvements and suggestions!

Mrs. F：
My menstruation has been delayed. I went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department to confirm if I get pregnant, but the ultrasound cannot detect it. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? Isn't it possible to detect embryos right after pregnancy??

Answer：
The ultrasound cannot detect embryo during early pregnancy, so please keep close follow-up.
To confirm an ectopic pregnancy can pay attention to abnormal abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, and you can use blood to test for chorionic hormones for doctors to evaluate.
