Still birth is what they call a miscarriage past week 24 when the fetus is viable.
Still birth (Still born) is when a woman carries her baby to a stage in her pregnancy where it must actually be delivered. Upon the delivery still birth means that the child has unfortunately died.

Miscarriage is when a pregnancy isn't viable. the embryo or fetus dies in the uterus within the early stages of pregnancy and is passed through the vagina similar to a heavy menstrual cycle.

How do you tell the difference between a miscarriage and a threatened miscarriage?

A miscarriage means you have definitely lost the baby, there is usually lots of cramping and clots. A threatened miscarriage means just that, you are still pregnant but may miscarry in the future. Any spotting while pregnant can be called a threatened miscarriage and many women go on to have healthy babies. If you still have signs of pregnancy like swollen and sore breasts it is probably just a threatened miscarriage. Most doctors will order an ultrasound scan to tell for sure. I should think that a blood test (Quantitative HCG) would be more reliable than ultrasound. Levels are decreased in the case of miscarriage, threatened &/incomplete abortion, & if the fetus is dead.


Can you still have a positive pregnancy test after having a miscarriage while on birth control?

Absolutely! While birth control does not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test, the body will still have some pregnancy hormone (hCG) that will show up in blood or urine pregnancy tests even after a miscarriage. As the levels drop, the test will eventually become negative.
