A high percentage of miscarriages are caused by a chromosome problem. As the fetus grows, if the chromosomes are not correct, the fetus cannot continue. I suddenly lost a baby too around 16-17 weeks because of a chromosome issue. Your doctor may run some tests to find out the cause. I'm so sorry for your loss. Just remember, most women who have miscarriages go on to have a healthy pregnancies and babies afterwards. Best wishes.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Its hard to say what causes a m/c.  I also had one close to 10 weeks, and they have never been able to say what happened.  Is your Dr. doing any tests?  Its hard I know, but sometimes there is just no explanation.

Take good care.

At 11 weeks my OB put the Doppler on and only heard one heartbeat (twins).  He immediately did an u/s and both were swimming and moving so for some reason the Doppler did not pick it up.

I am not sure.  What did your Dr. say?  Were they looking for it on Doppler or ultrasound?  I am honestly not sure at what point a doppler picks it up, but have heard many cases of women who haven't heard babies heartbeat till a bit further along.  I would go by whatever your Dr. tells you at this point. Good luck to you
