Could I Have Had a Miscarriage?
Posted: 07-26-05 04:31am

How can you tell if you've had a miscarriage if it would've had to have been only a couple of weeks along? Just blood and cramps? Could there have been any hard material? When does a baby's skeleton begin forming?

Im not exactly sure how old a fetus is until it forms bones, but a miscarriage is if its before 20 weeks then its classisfyed as stillborn or preterm the most normal symptoms are cramping and bleeding the bleeding is normally heavier than your period and the pain is that a little different to period pain I think in most cases you should see someone immediatly just to be safe. Hope that helps
