Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns.
This condition is called missed miscarriage. In a majority of cases, causes of missed miscarriage are related to chromosomal abnormalities which may lead to malformations that might not be compatible with life. This might be the system's own way of fighting against these abnormalities.
The fact that your have had it once does not mean that you will keep on having it.
I hope I have answered your query
I wish you well
