    ITs hard to explain, but i just knew something wasnt right, i just had that "feeling" it wasnt going to end well, with my first mc, i had no idea, i had a hb then at 11 weeks it all went downhill, but with the 2nd one it was 6weeks 2days, so maybe my body knew cause it had been there before, i also had a dream a few days before that i was in labour and the baby didnt make it, the dreamwas quite physical as well, like i felt like i was pushing the baby out, if that made sence.
    Sorry not much help in answering the actual question, but i think we have such a poweful intuition that sometime we just know.

    I would have to agree with Anila on the intuition thing, there was no exact reason why for me just a series of little things that all sort of added up, I also had a few "weird" experiences that really quite scared me and had me thinking that something was wrong, I was also REALLY aprehensive about going to my scan (where I found out my bub had no HB) but I had no reason at all to be, just something in my head/body that was niggling constantly "this isnt gonna be good"
    I hope that makes sense!

    I didn't know until I started bleeding, but once I saw the bleeding, even though it wasn't much then, I knew what was happening. Of course it got worse over the coming days, but as soon as I saw it my heart iced over

    I think that people who just *know* they're pregnant, without testing, are the ones that *know* when they miscarry - I don't know why, I don't think its just because some are more in tune with their bodies, because I'm not in tune with mine. LOL, sorry, not much help to you

    I just knew something was wrong - people kept telling me I was just paranoid, that I was young and healthy so there was no reason why I would miscarry but I just knew - and when I started to spot - I knew that I was right. It upset me that peple weren't taking me seriously, including my doc!

    I think a mothers intuition begins as soon as we are pregnant, as we are all mums, even if it's only to our angel babies!

    I didn't know. I had a little bleed at 11weeks 5 days and right up until I had a scan at 12 weeks I was talking to 'him' telling him to hang in there. When they told me his heart had only stopped beating the day before I was devastated.

    I was sus when my morning sickness didn't start (usually at 6 weeks). I also felt really strange/silly when I was organising a midwife and making plans.. looking back it's almost as if I knew. Then when I started spotting I just knew it wasn't good. I tried to convince myself that spotting can be fine (I had it with DS) but my gut just knew i think. I was very apprehensive going for my scan at 7 weeks and I'm usually really laid back about my scans... I just knew it was going to be an empty screen. Didn't make it much easier actually seeing it tho

    For me I had a really sensitive nose before I found out I was pg (which was a big tip off) then I couldn't stomach the smell of meat and it was like that for a few weeks then all of a sudden it didn't worry me as much (first clue). Then I was booked in for a dating scan when I thought that I should be at least 6weeks 2 days and I was so nervous and had a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, had the scan and was measuring 5 weeks (no biggy) and no heartbeat which isn't unusal. Came back 3 weeks later and still no heartbeat worst day of my life, but after the first scan I just knew with all my being that it was not going to end well.

    i sort of knew with all 3 of my lil angels with my first it was the back pain that got me it was excruciatting and then i felt really weird for a couple of days like i knew something was wrong but i just tried to ignore it with my son he was a twin and i never knew but i had some bleeding and cramping and started getting fevers and migraines when i went to check they told me all was fine and admittted me due to the fever but found out later that day that there was 2 in there and that one had passed away and my last one i was 12 n a half weeks and for some reason i didnt feel like i was normal and they checked and he was gone and i didnt bleed so i had no idea.. funny thing though i always had dreams a couple days before that i had lost them... weird to say the least but i sort of trust my sub concious now..
