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.

What does miscarage mean?
A miscarriage is the premature birth of a still born fetus.
Can you have a miscarriage at twenty three weeks?
Yes. You can have a miscarriage at any stage during pregnancy. However there is a cut off where the baby becomes classed as a 'baby' (if you will) once this stage is passed a miscarriage is classed as still birth.
Is it still a miscarriage if you habe a miscarriage but the baby is still inside you or is everything okay still?
A fetus can die inside you but not come out so then it is still a miscarriage. You have to see the doctor if you suspect a miscarriage.
If you arent sure if you are pregnant is ok to still take birth control?
Make sure first since birth control pill can cause miscarriage.
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.
