Can a stopped heart beat be restarted in pregnancy?

Question

My cousin lost the heartbeat in her scan and im just sitting here heartbroken for her. She keeps hoping it can come back. Is that even possible or once it stops thats it? Just trying to understand for her sake.

I panicked so much during a scan once when they couldn't find the heartbeat, but it was just a bad machine. However, if a doctor has confirmed it stopped, it cannot be restarted. Please get a second opinion if you need to be sure.

Please contact your gynac immediately. Once a fetal heartbeat has stopped, it is not medically possible to restart it. It is very important to get immediate medical guidance.
