how common is it to have a "missed abortion"?


a "missed abortion" is when you miscarry (before 20wks) but their is no signs (bleeding, etc.)...
just wondering if anyone knew like out of the miscarriages what percent was the "missed abortion" rate.
----------

Virtually all spontaneous abortions are preceded by a missed abortion. The fetus/embryo has already passed, but the mother isn't aware because there are very few cases where a missed abortion has symptoms. Aprox 15% of diagnosed pregnancies end in miscarriage, so the missed abortion rate is linked with that.

I had a missed abortion - no symptoms at all. I found out through the ultrasound when there was no heartbeat and we had seen one on the previous ultrasound. It is difficult to go through, but the one bright side of this was that they decided to do a d&c rather than wait for the spontaneous abortion to occur. They were able to test the fetal tissue and give me an explanation for the fetal demise.  (+ info)

Unknown Missed abortion, Untold during surgical?


Hi there,

I was wondering if it were possible to have an undetected miscarriage (i.e. missed abortion) right before your surgical abortion, and the procedure is performed anyway, but the baby was dead anyway?

Can the abortionist see if this has occurred, and would they conduct the operation anyway? Is there a chance that they would follow through but wouldnt tell you it was dead anyway?

E.g. What about Molar pregnancies.

I am concerned because I heard that on the sheet you sign for consent, there's a section that talks about "Removing a sac that had no baby in it". The procedure for that was just the same.

Abortion clinics don't make money by telling someone they are not really pregnant. They only make money when they perform abortions. You figure it out.  (+ info)

I had a miscarriage last fall and did TONS of research afterward because I knew nothing before it happened.

A threatened miscarriage is one where you're starting to spot or bleed and your hormone levels aren't as high as they should be. Sometimes your body stabilizes and you go on to have a healthy pregnancy/baby and sometimes you do eventually miscarry. There's literally nothing a doctor or you can do under these circumstances except wait and hope.

A spontaneous (or natural) miscarriage is one where your body expels all of the tissue associated with the baby on its on. This is really common very early in pregnancy, before you even know you're pregnant. Many women who have a spontaneous miscarriage think their period just arrived later than usual.

A missed miscarriage is one where your baby is no longer viable. This is one of the reasons doctors like to get several hormone levels early in pregnancy. It's also the reason some doctors do ultrasounds during the first three months of pregnancy. Hormone levels should go up and keep going up until about the halfway point of pregnancy. By six weeks or so, the baby's heartbeat should be visible on an ultrasound. If the hormone levels aren't going up and/or there is no heartbeat (or there was a heartbeat and then at the next appointment there isn't one) but you haven't started bleeding, THAT's a missed abortion. The baby isn't alive anymore but your body hasn't gotten rid of it.
Depending on how far along a woman is, doctors will do one of three things. They can wait and see if her body will miscarry without help (sometimes that can take a couple weeks!). They can give her drugs which will cause her to bleed and expel the tissue. Or they can dialate her cervix and physically remove the tissue.

As a previous poster noted, the medical term is abortion, not miscarriage, as in missed abortion or spontaneous abortion.  (+ info)

can u fall pregnant after a D&C for a missed abortion?


i had a D&C done last december as i has a missed abortion i was wondering if the chances get lower to fall pregnant after that?
----------

Yes, you will be able to get pregnant again.
However your doctor will tell you when you should start trying again.

You should start trying again when you feel ready to.
Don't feel pressured in trying again as you might not be emotionally ready too.

My partner was ready waaaay before I was after our m/c and ectopic pregnancies but I waited until I was ready and he understood that.  (+ info)

----------

I'm sorry to inform you that this means the fetus has died - this is something that can happen quite often. A missed abortion means that the body has not yet ejected the tissue.  (+ info)

can pregnancy symptoms persist in lady with missed abortion or belighted ovum?


I had a missed miscarriage, i lost the baby at 7 weeks but did not know until i was 12 weeks when they did the ultra sound, i still had morning sickness i was still moody and i still felt pregnant. So it was a very sad day for me.. i was confused and so depressed. The hcg was probably gone by my 9th or 10th week, but the mind can do crazy things.. i thought i was pregnant and didnt know any different.. so maybe it was all in my head maybe not...  (+ info)
