Introduction
In general, whether fetal arrest will occur at three months of pregnancy needs to be determined based on specific circumstances. Although by the third month of pregnancy, the fetus has developed organs and limbs and the heartbeat has begun, making the risk of fetal arrest relatively low, it can still happen if good living habits are not maintained and the mother develops illnesses.
In general, whether fetal停 (fetal arrest) may occur at three months of pregnancy depends on specific circumstances. The detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Yes
Although by the third month of pregnancy the fetus has developed organs and limbs and a heartbeat is detectable—indicating a relatively lower risk of fetal arrest—if the mother does not maintain healthy lifestyle habits or develops illnesses, fetal arrest may still occur.
2. No
The risk of fetal arrest at three months of pregnancy is relatively low. If the mother maintains good self-care and ensures adequate nutritional intake, fetal arrest is unlikely to occur.
It is recommended that pregnant women continue to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, attend regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital, and promptly identify and address any potential issues to ensure healthy fetal development.
