missed miscarriage
Undetected pregnancy ending
A missed miscarriage is a pregnancy loss in which the embryo or fetus has died but the body hasn't expelled it.
Unlike a typical miscarriage with bleeding and cramping, a missed miscarriage often has no obvious symptoms—the loss is discovered during a routine ultrasound when no heartbeat is detected.
Also called a silent miscarriage or missed abortion.
