miscarrying
Losing a pregnancy
Miscarrying is losing a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the womb, typically in the first trimester: She was miscarrying and needed emergency care.
The word also applies to plans or schemes that fail to achieve their intended result: The plot was miscarrying from the start.
