At the moment of conception, when the sperm meets the egg, 23 chromosomes from each parent should meet, to make 46 in total. Perhaps your embryo had more or less chromosomes than is typical. The reasons for this aren’t certain but researchers believe that it’s often caused by chromosomal variations. What causes a missed miscarriage?A missed miscarriage usually happens because something went wrong in your early pregnancy. Lots of people go through a period of grief, anxiety or depression and you and your loved ones should give yourselves time to come to terms with it. The news will be a shock, particularly if you had an earlier scan that showed a heartbeat.
This is when you may be told either that the pregnancy sac is empty, or that your baby has no heartbeat. Your breast tenderness may ease, and any nausea may stop before you expected it to.īecause these signs can be subtle and you won’t necessarily experience the usual miscarriage symptoms, such as cramping pain or vaginal bleeding, you may not find out that anything's wrong until your first ultrasound scan. However, if your hormone levels are starting to fall, those signs may decrease slightly. This means that if you took a pregnancy test, it may still give you a positive test result for a little while. Your body may still give you signals that you're pregnant because your placenta can develop and produce a pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Occasionally it happens beyond the first few weeks, perhaps at eight weeks or 10 weeks, or even further on. Or it may be that your baby started to grow, but then stopped growing and they have no heartbeat. This is called an anembryonic pregnancy, which is also known as a blighted ovum. In a missed miscarriage, it may be that your embryo didn’t develop at all and the pregnancy sac is empty. This is a missed miscarriage, also called a silent or delayed miscarriage.
This means you won't immediately know that anything has happened. Your baby doesn't continue to develop but your body doesn’t pass any pregnancy tissue and you don't experience pain or bleeding. What happens in a missed miscarriage?After conception, a fertilised egg implants in your womb (uterus). Any pregnancy loss is devastating, but a missed miscarriage can also be a big shock because you may not have known anything was wrong. Unfortunately, it is often only discovered during a routine scan in the early weeks of pregnancy. A missed miscarriage is a term used to describe what happens when your baby stops developing in early pregnancy but without any of the usual signs of a problem, such as bleeding or cramping.
