What is a ‘normal’ amount of bleeding miscarriage?

Question

Hi, I started to miss carry on Friday and I’m still going, I woke up yesterday and this morning with blood on the bed sheets even though I’m wearing thick/large towels during the night, I am filling my pads quick in the morning and it eases off as the day/evening goes on but always seems to be worse during the night and when I woke up in the morning.
Is this normal? How long is this supposed to last for?
Thanks

Answer

I started to miscarry on wed the 14th. I’m still bleeding as well. It’s very light now and not all the time but still bleeding as well. I see my dr on Tuesday to follow up. Maybe book a follow up if you’re concerned but I think it’s normal. It’s a constant heart breaking reminder on top of everything you’re already dealing with but I think normal. 🙁

So sorry for your loss 😢 Like the previous poster said if it’s more than a pad an hr you should go into the er I was instructed to do the same when I had mine on the 9th of March. I bled for 5 days before stopping but the first 2-3 days were heavier before slowing down with the first night being pretty painful for me. My doctor told me bleeding could last a week or two. I have problems with using pads overnight  because they shift I like using women’s depends for over night when I’m bleeding more heavy I used them as well after I had my daughter 2 1/2 years ago and for the first 3 nights after my miscarriage since I can’t use tampons like I would pefer to do. Even when i have AF I notice I bleed more when I lay down I think it’s because blood pools overnight and when you get up it all comes out.

The nurse at my Drs office said if you fill more than a pad an hour you should go to ER because of risk of hemorrhage.
