How long does the fetus stay in the female when she has a miscarriage?

Answer 1

It depends very much on how long it takes the womans body to expell the pregnancy. It can happen straight away or can take a few days depending on how heavy the bleeding is. I was 10 weeks 5 days pregant and had a ultrasound, it showed the baby had died of turner syndrome at 8 weeks...My body had not expelled the fetus, nor showed any signs of doing so..I ended up have to D & C's...so my body held that baby for 2 weeks I was almost 12 weeks pregnant and then started showing signs of miscarriage, an ultrasound showed that the fetus stopped developing at 5 weeks. That means it took 7 weeks for my body to expell it.

Answer 2

If it is early it may only take one or two days. Later it may be more like a period. If you are worried, the bleeding and pain are excessive see a doctor. You can get an infection if it does not come away completely. Hello - A miscarriage bleeding can last a few short days or can last as long as two or three weeks sometimes.

Answer 3
