Start of the miscarriage process?

Question

So yesterday i went in for a check up and the OB told me that baby was measuring 3 weeks behind and they could not find a heart beat. They called it a missed abortion.  They also checked my hcg hormone and it was 36,000 for a baby measuring 7 weeks. They want another recheck tomorrow to see what the level is doing but tonight I’ve started to have light cramps in my stomach and back and some slight spotting. They also did a pap yesterday and said spotting would happen but the cramping is a new one. Just wondering what others have experienced if this is my body starting the process or not. Thanks in advance.

Answer

So sorry to hear. I had a missed miscarriage last year except I never started bleeding on my own. I only had a gestational sac and yolk sac at what should’ve been 8 weeks. Waited three more weeks for something to happen and it didn’t so needed a d&c. Your hcg levels are pretty high not to see a heart beat... wishing you all the best..

I hope for the best for you.  For me, I was in the situation and that did turn out to be the start of my miscarriage.  My body passed the pregnancy naturally, but it was painful for a few days.  I know that the medical terminology for a miscarriage is often "abortion" but I wish they would have told you that it was a missed miscarriage instead.

I am going through the same thing right now. I was supposed to be 8 weeks on October 9th but they found I was only 4 and some change, and that there was only a yolk, sac and small fetal pole. I am now going through the waiting process,and will be taking cytotec on Monday afternoon if I haven't passed anything naturally. I'm so sorry you're going through this, and I hate that anyone has to, including myself.

Answer

I had a D&C in June at 14 weeks baby was measuring 10 weeks. But I had no idea at that point. But my first miscarriage I miscarried at 8 weeks and I had mild cramping they say like a period but it felt more painful then that and some bleed but I passed baby on my own.
