Miscarriage without bleeding?

AmandaJoyCole

I know everything I have researched has said you KNOW you have a miscarriage because there is bleeding. Has anyone heard of someone miscarrying without any bleeding and not even knowing they miscarried? God I am a nervous wreck about the miscarring bussiness.  I just want to go to my first appointment and be reassured its acutally REAL but they are making me wait till I am 13 weeks!!

Lurking, but usually it accompanies blood. Maybe post on the loss board and ask

please do not tell someone that is pregnant to post on the loss board. The ladies do not need that!!!

I would advise you NOT to post on the loss board.  You are just worrying about a loss with no reason beyond worrying while those women have actually had a loss.

As another poster has already said, it is called a missed miscarriage.   I suggest you take a deep breath and be thankful that each morning you are pregnant.  I understand having a miscarriage is a scary thought but all worrying is doing to do is stress you out.

Also, STAY OFF GOOGLE. There is no reason you should be googling miscarriages or missed miscarriages if you aren't have any issues. You will just drive yourself crazy.

Your apology is thoughtful and greatly appreciated. I can see why you might think that asking people who have been through loss would answer the ops question, but its just not a good idea. But thank you for apologizing!

This is great advice. I had to stop googling for every little thing or I was gonna drive myself insane !

It's called a missed miscarriage. I've had 2.

First of all, don't worry about this.  The odds are in your favor.

But yes, missed miscarriages are definitely a reality.  My first pregnancy ended this way (no bleeding or anything - just an u/s at 11 weeks and the baby measured 9w with no heartbeat).  I ended up wtih a D&C.

My second pregnancy was a twin pregnancy.  We saw both healthy heartbeats several times in the first trimester but then at a routine scan for the NT measurement we found out one of the twins had passed away.  Again, no bleeding or any "clue".

Good luck and I hope you have an uneventful and happy pregnany.  There truly is no reason to perseverate on this stuff unless you have to.  You have no idea what I would give to go back to my "naive" pre-miscarriage days where I thougth getting pregnant was the hard part.

Yes, it can happen without bleeding.

I had a missed miscarriage in 2010. We went to hear the heartbeat and the doctor couldn't find it. She sent me for a ultrasound asap and there was no heartbeat. I was 10 weeks at that point but the baby measured at 7 and a half weeks. I still had a couple of pregnancy symptoms but nothing that would indicate I had miscarried. I was so devastated I went for a second opinion. My body wouldn't naturally miscarry so I had to have a D&C. Less than 3 months after my D&C, I found out I was pregnant and I carried my daughter to term. I'm pregnant again and the fear of miscarrying will NEVER go away! It's scary and so nerve racking but just know that everything happens for a reason. I have an angel that watches over us now and it makes me smile. 

If you think anything is slightly wrong, call your doctor. That's what they're there for. With my 2nd pregnancy, I was so paranoid, I was at the doctor/urgent care every week! 

Good luck!

This. I've had 2 also. With the first I had horrible cramping, went to the ER and they told me I was fine. Found out 5 weeks later, the baby was not fine. The second time I went to the bathroom, did not have bleeding but what looked like pink tissue in the toilet. Called my dr, and they told me it was normal. The next day at my routine appt, discovered the baby's heart stopped beating the day before. I trust my drs, but I trust myself more. I know my body. However, if you've never had a missed m/c there is no reason to worry about it unless you experience horrible cramping or bleeding.

Out of all of my miscarriages, my last one was the only one that I had bleeding with. And I stated bleeding at 12 weeks and the baby measured 8w6d.
