The most conclusive way of finding out is to have an ultrasound done by your doctor or midwife to see baby’s heartbeat. I say “most” conclusive, because even with an ultrasound, if you are early in your pregnancy, it can be difficult to see or detect a heartbeat with 100% accuracy.

In many cases, though, there is nothing you or your doctors can do to stop a miscarriage.

Can you have a miscarriage and not bleed at all?

How to stop the bleeding after a miscarriage?
