As the name suggests, pregnancy failure occurs when a pregnancy stops developing. According to Carolina Curci, a gynecologist and obstetrician specializing in human reproduction and women’s health, the initial processes of pregnancy, such as the formation of the gestational sac and the embryo, can occur, but, after that, the evolution does not take place.
According to the Brazilian Association of Assisted Reproduction, it is estimated that about 50% of pregnancies that lead to spontaneous abortion are anembryonic pregnancy – a non-evolving type of pregnancy in which the embryo has not formed, and the gestational sac is developing. Anembryonic pregnancy can occur in 1% to 3% of all cases.
According to the specialist, the main reason for the pregnancy not progressing is a genetic problem in the embryo. “The main cause is always problems with the chromosomes, which may not have developed correctly, but there may also be factors related to hormonal imbalance or some change in embryonic development”, he explains.
“When we send our gametes, that is, the egg and the sperm, we send half our cells. If we send an extra cell or if the chromosomes change, the pregnancy will not continue”, he says.
The gynecologist explains that even in these cases, pregnancy tests – both pharmaceutical tests and the beta HCG test – can be positive and confirm the pregnancy. “This happens because the sensory tissue is trophoblast, which is the mass formed [após a fecundação do óvulo]produces HCG. But the formation of this tissue does not guarantee that the embryo will develop. Therefore, beta HCG needs to be measured as a way to monitor whether the pregnancy is progressing or not”, he says.
Non-advancement of the pregnancy can be detected through an ultrasound examination, according to Curci. “If you do an ultrasound after six weeks, and you see that you only have the gestational sac, then do the exam again a week later and only continue with that sac, this shows that progress has stopped the pregnancy”, he explains.
Interview between Time.news Editor and Dr. Carolina Curci, Gynecologist and Obstetrician
Editor: Welcome, Dr. Carolina Curci! Thank you for joining us today to discuss a very sensitive and important topic. Recently, there has been heartbreaking news about presenter Sabrina Sato, who suffered a non-development of her pregnancy at just 11 weeks. Can you explain to our readers what non-development of pregnancy, or pregnancy failure, entails?
Dr. Curci: Thank you for having me. Pregnancy failure, as the name suggests, occurs when a pregnancy stops developing after initial processes have taken place. This means that while the gestational sac and sometimes the embryo can form, the pregnancy will not continue to develop. This can be truly devastating for expectant parents.
Editor: So, it’s more common than many people realize. I understand that the Brazilian Association of Assisted Reproduction estimates around 50% of spontaneous abortions are due to anembryonic pregnancy. Can you elaborate on what anembryonic pregnancy is?
Dr. Curci: Absolutely. Anembryonic pregnancy, sometimes referred to as a blighted ovum, occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus and develops a gestational sac, but the embryo does not form or stops developing very early. It’s estimated this can happen in about 1% to 3% of all pregnancies. This condition highlights the complexities of early pregnancy and how many factors can influence its progression.
Editor: What are some of the common causes for pregnancy failure, as seen in cases like Sabrina Sato’s?
Dr. Curci: The primary reason for a pregnancy not progressing is often due to chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo. These abnormalities might occur during the division of cells when the egg and sperm come together. Additionally, hormonal imbalances, maternal health issues, or environmental factors may also contribute to pregnancy failure. It’s important to recognize that these events are typically not due to anything the prospective parents did or didn’t do.
Editor: That must be a difficult realization for parents experiencing such losses. Can you shed light on the emotional aspect of this experience? How can friends and family best support someone going through this?
Dr. Curci: The emotional fallout from a pregnancy failure can be profound. Parents often experience grief, confusion, and even guilt. It’s vital for friends and family to provide a listening ear and allow the parents to express their feelings without judgement. Practical support, like helping with daily tasks or simply being present, can also be incredibly meaningful during such a difficult time. Encouraging open conversations about their experience can help normalize their grief.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Curci, for providing such clear insights into this sensitive topic. It’s essential for our readers to understand that they are not alone and that there are professionals, like yourself, who can help guide them through these challenging experiences.
Dr. Curci: Thank you for shedding light on this topic. Education and open dialogue about pregnancy loss are crucial. It’s important for individuals to seek professional guidance, as well as support from their loved ones. Together, we can work towards making this experience less isolating for those affected.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Curci, for your valuable insights today, and for supporting our readers through their journeys.
