Physical signs when baby dies in utero
Hi, I was wondering what the physical signs are if your baby dies in utero, I'm in my second trimester and I keep having this gut wrentching fear my baby will die without me knowing or feeling it. Everyone (including my doc) says your body will let you know, how??? what happens??? "your body will let u know" is too vague for me. Seeing that I haven't felt movement yet I really need reassurance at this stage. Pls help!

In most cases you would miscarry. Sometimes the baby dies and nothing happens. You do not necessarily feel this. It is a common fear in pregnant women but does not happen very often.
