Pregnancy loss
In a missed or silent miscarriage the pregnancy has ended but there are no symptoms, and it is discovered at a routine scan. A confirmatory scan is usually arranged before any decision, and you can then choose to wait, take medicine or have a surgical procedure.
Also known as: silent miscarriage, delayed miscarriage
