Could I have miscarried and have no idea?

Okay, so I was supposedly going to have fraternal twins and apparently miscarried one at 7 1/2 weeks. Well, I'm not going to lie, I went and did a few regrettable substances and got really messed up afterward. I also found it weird that I had passed everything and didn't have any bleeding afterward. But I ignored it and kept doing drugs for like... a whole week. (Mind you... I had NO IDEA there was a twin). So one night I was really messed up and was having horrible cramps and nausea so I went to the doctor. They said I had a "threatened miscarriage" after informing me that there was another fetus still intact with a heart rate of 168 BPM. After I miscarried the first one, My breasts were no longer swollen but the morning sickness and every other symptom remained intact.

So here's where it gets more concerning:
I'm 16 weeks, am not showing AT ALL. My uterus area is not swollen, some days I get bad cramps but not every day... but every time, they get significantly worse... it literally feels like my uterus is trying to fall out of me and it hurts so bad I fall to the ground. I haven't had an ultrasound since 8 1/2 weeks when I found out there was another baby in there. Since about 10 weeks, I haven't had any pregnancy symptoms AT ALL... no fatigue, no swollen breasts, no nausea, no odd cravings, or smells being repulsive. I even have regular stool cycles again. My uterus is squishy again like it always was before pregnancy and I get severely ill every 4 or 5 days. I violently vomit, have cramps and can't leave my bed because everything aches. My real question is: Could my baby's heartbeat have stopped or something and it still be in there? Should I be concerned? I've been pretty worried about it for about 4 weeks now, but I feel like I sound stupid and am just worried over nothing. Should I see an OB ASAP? Or am I going out of my mind?

Sorry to hear about this. About 6 years ago I had my first pregnancy. I saw the doctor at 6 weeks and everything was fine. I ddin't see the doctor again until I was 13 weeks pregnant. It quickly became apparent that I had lost the baby about 5 weeks prior (at 8 weeks pregnant) and that my body hadn't registered it so it wasn't expelled from my uterus. I ended up having a D&C. I would suggest getting to the doctor asap.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. The pain you describe isn't normal in pregnancy. I would call and get in with your OB. I would think you would need another US with pain like that and since your still pregnant with the remaining twin you need to continue prenatal care.
