Sambhavna Seth Accuses Doctor's Negligence For IVF Miscarriage, Says Doctor Blamed Her Anxiety & Arthritis: 'Heartbeat 15 Days Pehele Rukh Gayi'

Actress and Bigg Boss 2 contestant Sambhavna Seth opened up about her IVF miscarriage that occurred in December last year. She revealed that despite experiencing days of bleeding during her first trimester, her doctor kept assuring her that everything was fine, only to discover later that her baby's heartbeat had stopped 15 days earlier, but the fetus had remained inside her. Sambhavna shared that she and her husband, Avinash Dwivedi, had done a pre-maternity shoot to announce the pregnancy on her social media handle when she was three months pregnant.

She told Gauahar Khan on her podcast MaaaNoranjan, "We were so excited, as the next day was the announcement, sirf ek scan tha, uske pehle mere 2–3 scan ho gaye the, bleeding kaafi baar ho gaye the and all fine tha. Jab main scan tha humko pata tha ki sab theek hoga. Doctors ne bataya hi nahi ki IVF mein bohot saare bleeding hoti hai. Ek raat mein khadi hui raat ko, aur mein zor se Avinash chillaayi aur meine dekha ki baalti nikal rahi thi blood ki. Maina kaha it's gone cause pata hi nahi tha. The next day, scan karaya, and everything was okay."

Further, the actress said, "Fifteen days earlier, I was feeling unwell and informed my doctor, but he told me it was an arthritis issue. However, my arthritis specialist disagreed and told me it was a sign of a miscarriage," she said.

Further explaining, she shared that during IVF, a PGT (Pre Genetic Testing) should be done before transferring the embryos to determine whether they are normal or not. She added that she repeatedly asked her doctor to conduct the test to avoid any risks, but he refused and assured her that everything was fine.

Sambhavana revealed that it was a genetically abnormal embryo, which stopped growing from the neck, and the heartbeat had stopped 15 days back, but the fetus remained inside her.

Expressing disappointment, Seth added, "When we went to the doctor, she just said, 'Oh, so unfortunate.' Not even a ‘sorry,' even though it was their mistake. I still remember her face. She said, 'You have so many problems again, arthritis, anxiety. We will try again, and this time we will do the PGT test.'"
