Signs and Symptoms
The first sign of miscarriage is usually either vaginal bleeding
or painful abdominal cramps. However it is important to remember
that a large number of women experience spotting or bleeding in the
first few weeks of pregnancy and go on to have healthy
babies.
Other signs of miscarriage include: an absence of pregnancy
symptoms or a sudden disappearance of pregnancy symptoms and slow
to rise, static or falling hCG levels.
Some women will have no signs that their baby has not developed,
or has died, until an ultrasound scans shows no heartbeat, or an
empty pregnancy sac. This is called a Missed Miscarriage.
