Don’t worry. The same thing happened to me nearly 15 years ago. The nurse and doctors could not find my daughter’s heartbeat and I was hemroging (can’t spell) - they thought I would miscarry, but we just celebrated my daughter’s 14th birthday last Saturday.
What ever you do, just make sure the doctors don’t talk your sister into having an abortion because they think the child is dead. If they think that they are probably wrong.
