miscarriage

I was told at 8wks pregnant that my baby didn't have a heart beat and know I'm wondering how long does it take the baby to pass naturally and is it healthy to just keep waiting for this to happen?

hi, Sorry for your loss. I was told my twin's has no heartbeat last june 29,2013 at 8weeks. When my doctor give me a internal examination my cervix was still close so i wait for a week. i'm taking a medicine and my doctor also inserted my some medicine on my vagina. after 1 week my cervix was open and i already have a d&c.

When I was told my twins' hearts had stopped, I did wait.  I was concerned that a D&C would make my cervix less able to stay closed in a subsequent pregnancy.  However, it took four weeks for the miscarriage, and I have since read that if the baby does not pass relatively quickly, the chance of scar tissue in the uterus increases.  I had quite a lot of problems with an incomplete miscarriage, and in retrospect wish I had had a D&C if the babies had not passed naturally in about a week, or two weeks at most.
