yes, a missed miscarriage, usually detected at a scan.....

I'm afraid it is.
I had a 'missed' miscarriage at 19 weeks a few years ago, not a twinge, a spot of blood or anything, just no heartbeat at the check up. I'm led to believe it's a lot more common than you'd think

Yes, unfortunately it's somehing I have experienced twice...

Nemo2007 · 18/04/2007 14:32

yes and it is horrible,I felt really ill and really pregnant with my missed mc, didnt stop until 2 wks after my d+c

nappyaddict · 18/04/2007 14:36

and if you had a mmc would a pregnancy test come up positive or negative?

oh and do you bleed after a d and c?

I expect the pg test would come up positive as everything would still be in place and bleeding is normal after a D&C.

EllieG · 18/04/2007 14:55

Yeah v common apparently - I had one just over a month ago. Bled for about 5 days after D&C but then felt (physically) ok.

mumto3girls · 18/04/2007 14:57

Yes a pg test will be positive and in fact will remain positive even after a d &C for a week or two possibly...

Bleeding is only period like after the op...

are you okay??
