Had first miscarriage Monday...

Amanda
I had an awful natural miscarriage on Monday.  I have a few friends who have had DnCs after not finding a heartbeat.  How awful! But I haven't found anyone who had a natural mc.  Here is my story: 
I started to bleed Thursday night but the doctors didn't seem concerned at all.  I started to get cramps at someone else's baby shower Sunday and I just sort of knew.  I started to have bad cramps/contractions throughout Sunday night and then it all hit the fan at 6:00 am.  Went to the ER with contractions and bled through clothes and blankets. After 3 hours I finally got some morphine and felt some relief but continued to have contractions until the morning.  Pretty awful. 
It's only been 1 day out but I am still cramping and sore.  My emotions are obviously up and down.
How long did you stay out of work afterwards?
