Im having a miscarriage, what do i do?

Question

I've been bleeding and cramping since Friday morning. I was 6 weeks 2 days pregnant. The cramping has been continuous, but is typically moderate. It got extremely strong last night and the blood was pouring out a good bit. I don't recall any clots but the bleeding mainly takes place on the toilet and I flush it quickly. My doctor said they'd call me back then never did so I've been on my own, researching. I'm worried that since this hasn't been as painful, bloody, or clot filled as others have described, it's not going well naturally. I really don't want a D&C. Is less cramping and bleeding a good or bad sign? Bleeding has already slowed down a good bit.

Thanks for the support ladies. I'm so scared we won't get pregnant again or I'll miscarry again once I do. I keep going in and out of sadness. Mixed with eagerness to try asap. I wish I could just have my baby back.

I had mc 2 weeks ago and I was at 5 weeks.. but my bleeding was normal just like  a regular period ( not heavy) but i did pass something looked like small sac.

I did an ultra sound and was  confirmed I passed everything. Now I am dealing with some spotting.

Hi Hun....I don't think you are done. I just had my second at home miscarriage. Try having a bath. Hot shower. Rub your belly. Squat. I did these things intermittently to help bring it all out faster. 14 hours later, I am pretty sure my body got it right. Keep me posted but running to get an ultrasound this early (in my experience) is too early. I was stuck at the hospital waiting when I went in to extreme labor and ended up screaming to just go home. Best place to be (that early) is home unless some extreme happens. I'm here if you need to talk xoxo

I was cramping and bleeding a lot for the first couple days I used a heating pad to help with the cramps and the I wasn't having as much pain after I passed the thing . It was huge but after it was out I felt so much better but I was bleeding for so long after still.  My doctor was no help what so ever .. I never had a d&c I just let it take care of its self I guess . I had the miscarriage in April and finally stopped bleeding as bad in June and a few weeks after I ended up pregnant again and so far everything is going good

Answer

I did pass a bit of tissue (noticeably sized) but I was totally amazed by how little blood when I went to the hospital I still had a lot of hope because it seemed like so little blood but they told me my uterus was already emptied and that the next few days I might start bleeding heavier as my body shed the lining, they were right. Lasted about 8 days for me which is about twice as long as my usual period but even still, in the end it seemed like just not enough blood. I was 7 weeks btw.

Answer

I was farther along than you but i did have ALOT of pain blood and clotting like, alot. And i ended up needing a d&c bc my cervix wouldnt open which is why i was having so much pain from contractions trying to push through my cervix, honestly i would take a d&c over waiting it out anyday bc they put me to sleep which eleviated the pain and shortened the emotional stress of watching it happen and they were able to do genetic testing on my baby to see if anything had been wrong with her. If you have concern about whats happening just call your dr again and if they reccomend a d&c dont be scared. Good luck

Answer

I would suggest to go to doctor... they cannot prevent miscarriage but will see if everything is cleared from ur system or if you require d&c... also the miscarriage will be on ur history which will help doctors to figure out the cause in case of recurrent miscarriages...

Answer

I had pretty moderate cramping for my first MC in May and found that a heating pad helped. I had some clotting but not as much as I expected and didn't have a D&C, had another MC in July that was earlier with very, very little clotting. Still no D&C. You might be ok without one but I'd give your doctor a call on Monday if you are worried. Wishing you the best, sending lots of love and prayers. So sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts. 😢

Answer

I am currently miscarrying for the 2nd time in 4months. My first one was at 5 weeks and this one is at 6 weeks. My doctor hasn't really done anything except tell me I'm going to miscarry because my hcg dropped. I tend to have less bleeding then my normal period but it last longer and sometimes I have clots and sometimes I don't. When you miscarry this early it's not much different from a period except it's more clotty, your extremely emotional and cramps can be more intense. I would just take it easy and not worry too much unless your bleeding two or three times more then normal or cramps are extremely painful. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Answer

I didn't have any bad cramping with my mc just felt like af cramping

Answer

My last 5 week mc was weird too, singe mild cramping and after the first day was mild bleeding. My hcg bounced up and down for a while so they feared ectopic but I asked to wait before the d&c. They told me as long as the pain or bleeding wasn't bad I could wait. Thankfully about a month later the bleeding stopped and my hcg went back to 0. I was thankful I didn't have to do the d&c so as long as you aren't in severe pain or losing too much blood, you should be okay.
