Hi.
My wife is 12 weeks pregnant, but yesterday we went to get an ultrasound and were told that the baby had no heart beat. We were worried and had another internal ultrasound but still the same result. No heart beat. The Midwife said that the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks and that my wife had a miscarriage. But there is no bleeding etc. Please tell me it isn't so, because both her and I are very upset.

That's very sad. Sorry to hear that, it must be devastating.
You could ask the doctor what he or she thinks it could be, but it could be anything. The embryo might have had some problems that just couldn't survive.
Again, so sorry for your loss.

Yes unfortunately it is true and i am really sad for you both but generally when there is no heart beat this means there may have been abnormalities with the baby and that a pregnancy can not go on. I know how sad your feeling because i have just had a stillborn baby and i was supposed to have had a miscarriage with her but she was a little fighter and didn't give up until till the very end i went full term with her and my husband and i found it very hard to say goodbye i believe things happen for a reason and that the child you have lost will send you another was as my angel in heaven has to me i am now 16 weeks pregnant with another girl and everything is fine this time.
Good Luck and Best Wishes.

i am very sorry to hear about your loss i lost a baby at 12 weeks as well and they said my baby stopped growing at 8 weeks to but i had some bleeding the day i found out the bad news i had to have a d&c procedure to take the baby out its the most painfull and difficult thing i have ever experianced, the only advice i have for you is to know for one that it wasnt your fault sometimes when the cells are dividing and forming in the very begining something goes wrong wich causes the baby to never develop properly no one knows the exact cause but they do know there is nothing you could do to make it happen or to stop it,talk about it as much as you can keeeping it in will only make it worse,console and be there for eachother and to keep your baby in your hearts forever,you could get some type of a keepsake that you can have personalized with the babies name and date or something like that,my mom bought me a christmas ornament with in loving memory angel 10-15-2005 and on the front it had a saying if memorys were a stairway and tears a lane i walk right up to heaven and bring you home again, it was sad but helped it made me feel like the baby was still here some how.and it also helps me to think that someday i will be reunited with my little angel again up in heaven, it took a while for me not get over it because you never will but come to terms with it grieve for as long as you need to and just know that when you and your wife are ready you will be able to try again i had a succesfull pregnancy since and im 17 weeks pregnant now with my second child my thoughts and prayers are with the both of you and again i am very sorry for your loss

Having a miscarriage is natures way of correcting mistakes. There could be many reasons that the baby didn't have a heart beat. I am so sorry about you lose, but do understand that it was all in gods plan!! Now you have a little angel in heaven.

I had the same situation last year. Although we never saw the baby because it stopped developing early on. My body kept right on acting pregnant though, sadly. I am sorry to hear of your loss and I know the whole "everything happens for a reason" does not really help right now. Her body will eventually miscarry or she may want to go and have a D and C. I wound up doing that because I wanted closure.

I am so sorry. It does sound like she had what they call a "missed miscarriage". Unfortunately, it is actually quite common. They should have told her that she will probably start bleeding in the next few days, and if she doesn't, she has to go in for a D&C. It's a medical procedure done to remove the embryo and other tissues remaining in the uterus. Again, I am so sorry. Don't give up hope, have faith.

I have the same issue.. It was devastating, broke down can t focus on work or life. I browsed the net for few days looking for answers hoping I could do something .... ....
But I have to accept that the fetal is lost... I have a missed miscarriage and ended choosing to have an op to remove. it was the last resort I ever wanted. Told by doc I might have an infection which can caused me not to have chance to conceive again. I pray for those who have the same encounter, it was devastating, you could not find the answer of how could this happens to me..... but be strong.. Time heals

I am very sorry to say that it sounds like your wife has has a "missed" or "silent" miscarriage. If there is no heartbeat, then unfortunately your baby is no longer viable.
Sometimes women miscarry without their body displaying those obvious signs straight away (such as bleeding and loss of pregnancy symptoms).
Please know this is not uncommon or a sign that she will have future problems.
