Missed miscarriage...

When I first got pregnant, I thought if I miscarried, I would know, because I would bleed and be in pain. Then I read about missed miscarriages, where the baby, I guess, dies in utero and you don't know about it until you see the doctor.

My question is, can you have a missed miscarriage at any time during the 9 months or is it primarily in the first trimester?

Thanks!!

Primarily in the first trimester....if its after 20 weeks its then considered a stillborn.

I agree I think it is in the first trimester only. I had this happen in August of 1999. The only indication that I had, looking back on it, is that I was extremely nauseated and sick not like with my first pregnancy. I went in for a sonagram and they could not find anything. I had no bleeding cramping or anything. I was about 9 weeks along when it happened to me.
