Signs of Missed Miscarriage: Real-Life Examples and Explanations
A missed miscarriage, also known as a silent miscarriage, is a type of pregnancy loss where the fetus dies but the body doesn’t recognize the pregnancy loss or expel the pregnancy tissue. As a result, signs of a missed miscarriage may not be evident. Some women might still feel pregnant, even though the pregnancy has ended.
Signs of Missed Miscarriage
Some common signs of a missed miscarriage can include:
- No fetal heartbeat heard with stethoscope or Doppler
- Stop in pregnancy symptoms
- No more morning sickness
- No weight gain
However, these signs can also be associated with a healthy pregnancy and so it can be challenging to determine a missed miscarriage without the help of a medical professional.
Real-Life Example
Consider the case of Jane, a 30-year-old woman who was 10 weeks pregnant. Jane had been experiencing regular pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness and weight gain. However, during her regular checkup, the doctor was unable to detect a fetal heartbeat. An ultrasound confirmed that Jane had experienced a missed miscarriage.
It is important to remember that everyone’s experience with a missed miscarriage can be different. It can be a confusing and emotionally difficult time, and so it is essential to seek the help of a medical professional.
