Why does a missed miscarriage not show a reaction

Patient's question:

Last month passed for seven or eight days without coming. Later, after careful examination, I found out I was pregnant. At that time, both my husband and I were very happy. This month, during the prenatal check-up, the doctor said the fetus had stopped developing. How come the miscarriage didn't show up?

Doctor's answer:

If the fetal death is caused by the cessation of fetal heart development and growth, the pregnant woman will not feel it. If the fetal death is due to insufficient corpus luteum or low progesterone levels, there may be symptoms of vaginal bleeding. Fetal death poses significant harm to a woman's body, so if it occurs again, it is recommended to identify the cause promptly to prevent it from happening again in the future. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary habits, preferably maintaining a light and balanced diet.
