A friend of mine went for scan and it only shows the gestational sac without an embryo,she was asked to come back in the next two weeks for another scan and that she might start to bleed any time from now. Can something be done to prevent miscarriage or must she wait till the next scan to know her fate? Or is it that the embryo is not yet formed? Your advise will be appreciated. Pls note that she has been having morning sickness for over two weeks now

Hi there, sorry about your friend's predicament. For now, she has to limit activity and try not to bend over or cause strain/stress to the abdominal muscles.

Also avoid foods that could cause constipation, if she's going to pass stool, let her not bear down as that could stimulate the vagus nerve

Increase intake of fruits/vegetables/water

Despite it all, she could still miscarry, please be there for her to help her make peace with the things she can't change and move on. Thanks for seeking help for your friend, I'm sure she appreciates you, best of luck to you both

Thanks so much, I know this will be helpful,its just that it has not been easy especially with the morning sickness,pls is there a way to reduce the morning sickness without any damage to the pregnancy?
