miscarriage

so I didn't have a miscarriage but my cousins doctor told her she did. they couldn't find the heartbeat but she had said they didn't bother trying to look. shes in her first trimester but had no signs of miscarriage, no cramping and no bleeding at all. is it possible the doctor could be wrong? she's gonna get checked again to double check.

I was 16wks along with my son, and had no symptoms at all (until they didn't find a h/b at my Dr. apt with the Doppler, and they sent for an ultrasound) that he had passed away almost 2wks prior to finding out. even then - I carried him until the 17th week and was induced to have him, only then did I start cramping and bleeding.
some women's bodies are so apt on holding onto the pregnancy they don't recognize the baby is not alive anymore.

My doctor told me that some babies dont have s heart beat until 11 weeks so she should get a 2nd opinion

I've have had 4 previous m/c. For one,if them my doctor knew I was going to have one before I started any symptoms. I was so upset. I ended up having one a few days later. I'm now 24 weeks with a beautiful baby girl

It could be too early they should have scheduled her to return in a week or so to make sure not all heartbeats are seen so early and her dates could also be off maybe she's not that far along yet I suggest having another doctor check

I miscarried at 8 wks my first pregnancy and I n had absolutely no signs so the first comment was far from true my baby had been gone for a wk and I was still having pregnancy symptoms.. tell her to wait it out and get a second opinion my Dr couldn't find heartbeat which had been there 2 wks prior i didn't believe it I got a second opinion  and baby was gone :( the next week I went in to do dnc and Dr did ultrasound to check again there was nothing but black fuzzy spots on the screen floating in my uterus :((  prayers her way that this is not her case and that she's just not far enough along

It's known as a missed miscarriage the body tries to hold on to the pregnancy even though the fetus is no longer living and not all miscarriages start with a lot of bleeding or pain if she feels they are wrong then get a second opinion how far along is she?

im.not a doctor but by my own experience she did not have a m/c bc the first sign is blood  and alot of it and really bad cramps.. if they didnt find no heartbeat maybe shes to early .. its better if she just goes to the hospital and say she has cramping even if she dosent so she can have a ultrasound done
