Why didn't I know? While many miscarriages begin with symptoms of pain and bleeding, there are often no such signs with a missed miscarriage. Pregnancy hormones may continue to be high for some time after the baby has died, so you may continue to feel pregnant and a pregnancy test may well still show positive.

Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that a woman doesn't realize she's pregnant.

Unfortunately, between 10 and 15 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. You may have heard of couples waiting to announce a pregnancy until the risk of having a miscarriage is lower. The further you are into the pregnancy, the less likely you are to miscarry.

Most miscarriages happen before 10 weeks gestation. In a very early miscarriage before five weeks, also called a chemical pregnancy, your cramping will probably be only slightly heavier than in a menstrual period. Some women may not have a difference in the amount of cramping.

The tissue (the fetus, gestational sac, and placenta) from an early miscarriage may not be obvious to the naked eye. Many early miscarriages look like heavy menstrual periods. In a miscarriage that happens beyond 6 weeks, more tissue will be expelled. The expelled tissue usually resemble large blood clots.

The first you learn of it may be during your dating scan, at around 12 to 14 weeks, so it can come as a terrible shock. Some women do have a feeling that something isn't right before a missed miscarriage is confirmed. But it's far more likely that your baby is still thriving.

If you are less than eight weeks pregnant when the miscarriage occurs, the expelled tissue will look no different from heavy menstrual bleeding. The further along you are in pregnancy, the heavier the bleeding and more severe the cramps. You may see the fetus and placenta.
