Eventually she will get serious infections since the fetus will decompose inside of her. That will spread and get into her bloodstream and finally kill her unless she gets treatment and the fetus removed. It would be very painful. If you suspect you are having a miscarriage you have to see a doctor and also if you don't suspect it you have to go to regular checkups to make sure everything is normal.
