missed abortion/miscarriage - no fetal heartbeat

Your not the only one, my wife and I just miscarried for the second time in a row at around 6 weeks....no fun! We are trying to have one more and can't understand why this keeps happening. It's been 4 years since your original post I hope your holding your little one by this point.

I am 21 years old . Had a missed misscarriage with twins.

After many months of trying the frustration was finally over my pragnancy test came back positive, every one was so delighted with the good news. Specially me and my husband were ecstatic. My first ultrasound at 7 weeks showed a single baby with good hearbeat and every thing was normal. 

At 13 weeks i noticed some pink discharge and was rushed to the ER. They did an ultrasound which showed the baby only measures on 9 weeks, where as i was 13 weeks pregnant plus they could also not detect any heartbeat, to confirm that  thay scheduled me for a transvaginal ultrasound and to our surprise i was pregnent with twins both measuring the same size 9 weeks.

The docters were also baffled that how could they not have seen the second fetus, At that momement i started to pray to God and hoped for the second baby to have a heart beat, but sadly "no".

My babies had died three weeks earlier and i was devastated, i did not feel any cramping or pain of any sort, How could i have not known something was wrong?

My docter suggested me to have Manual Vaccum Assperration under a normal sedative but i demanded General anesthesia , i was so emotionally drained that i could not go through the procedure wide awake.

I can feel the pain of all who have gone through this and hope God will bless us all soon again.

I had a similar experience. I felt weird in the morning with a little spotting. Then there was blood. Went to the doctors and they told me there was no heart beat and the fetus stopped growing a week ago. My boss called me n I had to go back to work after crying my eyes out. Had contractions all day final I got off around 6 and the cramps felt like labor pains. I ended up feeling a big gush as I was driving home with white knuckles on the steering wheel because it hurt. Not the passing but the cramping. I ended up having it in the car. Sucks. Ima mom of 2 and is really having a hard time about it. I don't know how to react I was 9 weeks

Where do I start I don't know. I'm 9 weeks pregnant but no heart beat, the hospital said baby stopped growing at 7 weeks don't know what to do

Hello. After searching for days, this is the most informative thread I have found so far, so I hope someone can give me some information.

I had been bleeding for two days (red blood, amount similar to that of a normal period, the blood becoming brown and less abundant, some small skin-like tissue too. After many hours, the bleeding seemed to stop but immediately started again, red and abundant, and the same thing all over). After these two days (the first of which I went to Emergency and was sent back home) I had a routine scan. This scan was three days ago now. For the first time since the bleeding had started, I had no bleeding of any colour, no clots, nothing. I never had cramps or pain during the bleeding either or afterwards. I should have been 11 weeks pregnant but they found no heartbeat and the baby measured only 8 weeks. I had a missed miscarriage.

Here is my question (if someone has gone throught he same experience, please let me know, because I don't understand what is happening to me): Why did I start bleeding and then stopped? It's been three days now and nothing's going on anymore. I obviously didn't pass the sack or the baby or anything really, as the bleeding stopped hours before the scan and when I had the scan everything was still there. Is it normal to start bleeding and then stop completely when the dead baby is still there?

Thank you.

Sorry for your loss it happened to me a month ago I found out i was 3 weeks pregnant and then after i went for a 6 week scan the doctor was confused so he sent me for a vaginal ultrasound they said I was 5 weeks snd 6 days but it looked abnormal I had cysts but there was a featal heart beat so they diagnosed me with molar pregnancy I went back to the doctor and he said wait for 2 weeks and come back I was so confused and heart broken so I waited and went back they give me an ultrasound and everything was so normal and looked fine baby's heart beat and all I was 8 weeks and 5 days a the doctor was happy with it and told me to come back in 3 weeks when I was home I had very bad morning sickness. One tine I had a glass of red wine watered down with sprite like really watered Down but a fewnights before I had like a sharp pain in my vagina but my mum said it was normal its your body adjusting it was away in the morning. So I went back for my 12 week scan and when I went for the ultra sound there was no heart bea t I saw it it grew and I saw wee hands and all but the doctor said did anything happen in the last 2 days I said no.. so he sent me to prepare for a dnc they give me 2 abortion tablets 1 hour apart they couldn't operate till I started to bleed still no blood came the next day I was still in hospital so they put tablets up me to break it up and put me on a drip for 3 hours still no blood so they had to wait till the next day give me more tablets and another drip still none then the next day the doctor said il just get it going myself he did a really good job but I was in somuch pain and so heart borken I couldn't stop crying that it was gone but im am not going to try agaun for a year or 2 because I couldn't go through losing it again.. sorry for the long story but I just want to know has this happend anyone else and is there anything that would have caused it.

I wish more people posted how their significant other responded too. I found out today and was given 2 days to decide natural m/c, pill-induced m/c, or d&c surgery. My fiance went to work less than 5 hours after we found out. He thought it would help distract him from thinking about it while leaving me alone at home with our 1 year old. Everyone handles it different. He needs to be alone which I think is selfish. I would love having company to distract me but I know I have to make this decision soon.

I do not know how far I was supposed to be, here is my story:

I found out I was pregnant Sept 2nd. At the end of Sept I experienced bleeding (with small clots) for about a week. My doctor recommended, I have a few blood draws and my HCG levels were continuing to rise. I had an ultrasound with my OBGYN which dated me 6weeks, 6 days. I came back almost two weeks later (Oct 3rd) and was told 7 weeks, 3 days. My doctor (diff then first u/s) detected a faint heart beat but she kept losing it. We thought it meant everything was okay that it was just too small. She also said I must have been earlier then I previously thought (I rejected this idea and thought she measured wrong). She scheduled me for another ultrasound 3 weeks later (Oct 28) to get a better image. I did not want to get my hopes up so I waited and thought that after this u/s I would know everything was okay. With the bumpy to start, I did not want to get my hopes up. The fetus measured 7 weeks, 1 day with no heartbeat. She showed me how the sac was coming apart and a few other images that meant I miscarried. They told me it wasn't my fault and gave me my options. I would have felt more comfortable picking a date to decide how I will pass it but I was only given the options of tomorrow or the next day. I feel like this website is the best I have found when it comes to reviews. I think I am going to opt for the natural m/c. Everyone has different stories about whether it was painful and the amount of bleeding just like people who have the surgery can bleed for weeks after or be in pain afterwards. I am scared of the possible complications of surgery and I do not know whether I should take the pill so I know when it is going to happen or let nature take its course. I am glad I found this post. It has helped me cope and is the only detailed blog that has told me what to expect.

I was supposed to be about 12-13 weeks

This happened to me twice. I went to hospital to have it removed because my doctor recommended it. She said there was a lesser risk of complications and infections. It was done in 15 minutes and in a few hours I was released from hospital, so physically it was not painful or difficult. Emotional pain and a sense of loss is a different matter. However, if missed misacarriage happens to you more than once, I would urge you to get a trombophilia tests carried out. In case you have some form of trombophilia, it may be necessary to inject yourself with blood thinners every day as soon as you find out you are pregnant. In pregnancy, blood is naturally thicker to prevent bleeding but if you have trombophilia, it may create blood cloths which block the nurture of the phetus and it dies as a result. Intake of Heparin prevents blood clothes and the baby develops just fine . of course, there may be many other reasons for missed miscarriage, but it is good to rule this one out.

Yes I miscarried yesterday and the fetus which died at 7.5 weeks was expelled 3.5 weeks later the size of a large shrimp. Very confused
