Answer 1

I had a silent miscarriage earlier this year, and there were no signs nor symptoms until I got sick and when they did my ultrasound, it showed that there was nothing in there. So, I understand that it is a little bit frightening, to worry about something like that happening, but you shouldn't worry about it, just be excited about your baby, once you are in the 13th week, your chance of miscarriage decreases by a substantial amount. Good Luck, and Congrats on your pregnancy! I am 11 wks., 2 days

Answer 2

I could be completely wrong, but I think a silent miscarriage is when you don't know you are pregnant and you have a heavy period that is actually expelling a very early foetus, without you realising. If you know you are 12 weeks pregnant then you would know if you had had a bleed serious enough to have lost the baby. Every newly pregnant woman has worries, to you aren't going potty, but neither do I think you have any need to worry. Good luck at the scan, I am sure it will be very exciting.

No your not the only one who feels like this. After having three losses which were not silent I had a healthy little girl. I took a test every day for about three months just to make sure she was still there. My panic and stress levels have never been higher. You have to relax and enjoy being pregnant. Its unlikely that at this stage you would miscarry and it would be ever more unlikely that you would not be aware of it. Unfortuantly women miscarry its natures way of telling you sometimes somethings not quite right. Dont waste your time thinking about something that may never happen and talk to your midwife she should be there to reassure you. If your ever in any doubt about your baby go to your local hospital. I spent hours up at A & E demanding they listen to her heartbeat to make sure it was all OK and it was. Good luck with your pregnancy and I am sure you and your baby will be fine.

What should I do if I suspect I'm about to miscarry?
Call your doctor or midwife immediately if you ever notice unusual symptoms such as bleeding or cramping during pregnancy. Your practitioner will examine you to see if the bleeding is coming from your cervix and check your uterus. She may also do a blood test to check for the pregnancy hormone hCG and repeat it in two to three days to see if your levels are rising as they should be.

If you're having bleeding or cramping and your practitioner has even the slightest suspicion that you have an ectopic pregnancy, you'll have an ultrasound right away. If there's no sign of a problem but you continue to spot, you'll have another ultrasound at about 7 weeks.

At this point, if the sonographer sees an embryo with a heartbeat, you have a viable pregnancy and your risk of miscarrying is now much lower, but you'll need to have another ultrasound later if you continue to bleed. If the sonographer sees an embryo of a certain size but no heartbeat, that means the embryo didn't survive.

If the sac or the embryo is smaller than expected, though, it might just be that your dates are off and you're not as far along as you thought. Depending on the circumstances, you may need a repeat ultrasound within one to two weeks and some blood tests before your caregiver can make a final diagnosis.

If you're in your second trimester and an ultrasound shows your cervix is shortening or opening, your doctor may decide to perform a procedure called a cerclage, in which she stitches your cervix closed in an attempt to prevent miscarriage or premature delivery. (This is assuming your baby appears normal on the ultrasound and you have no signs of an intrauterine infection.) Cerclage isn't without risk, and not everyone agrees on what might make you a good candidate for it.

If you're showing signs of a possible miscarriage, your doctor or midwife may prescribe bedrest in hopes of reducing your chances of miscarrying — but there's no evidence that bedrest will help. She may also suggest you not have sex while you're having bleeding or cramping. Sex doesn't cause miscarriage, but it's a good idea to abstain if you're having these symptoms.

You may have light bleeding and cramping for a few weeks. You can wear sanitary pads but no tampons during this time and take acetaminophen for the pain. If you are miscarrying, the bleeding and cramping will likely get worse shortly before you pass the "products of conception" — that is, the placenta and the embryonic or fetal tissue, which will look grayish and may include blood clots.

If you can, save this tissue in a clean container because your caregiver may want to examine it or send it to a lab for testing to try to find out why you miscarried. In any case, she'll want to see you again at this point, so call her to let her know what's happened.

silent miscarriages are rare...especially at 12 weeks...you would not be able to miss the signs...stop worrying...relax your stressing yourself out, and this will not only hurt you, but the little one growing inside...your probably due for a vist and a ultra sound pretty soon...and then you will see there is nothing to worry about...and if your worried about the miscarriage because you don't feel like your pregnant, or have many symptoms..well count your blessing that your feeling good right now, it wont last long :)

Every woman has fears during preganncy. Of course these can happen....a million things "can" happen! One very probable thing is miscarriage brought on by stress!!!! just deal with the pregnancy, get rest, etc....you can have a miscarraige brought on by stress. Stop worrying, and relax!!! Over stressing releases harmful toxins to the baby, so relax and make it easier on you and the baby!!!! Remember fears and worries are normal, dwelling on them is not. Good luck and relax so you can bring that beautiful healthy baby into this world!

Having had a silent miscarriage myself I am afraid there were no signs, not until I had my scan and was found to be carrying the embrionic sac and nothing else, I have been advised these are not v common so don't worry yourself, I am sure all is fine and your scan will reveal the beautiful being you have created.

Is there a reason why you would think that you would miscarry? Do you have a history? If not, stop worrying yourself. Stress can cause alot of difficulty to your pregnancy. Just go on normally without any unnecessary worries and talk to your doctor.

Answer 10

Its easy to stress out about things like this when you are pregnant but you shouldnt stress yourself and the baby like that. If you are 12 weeks then your chances of a miscarriage have dropped dramatically. try not to worry and talk to your doctor of your paranoia.
