My expereince with a 13 weeks MC was like early labour, back ache cramping etc but very emotional..my blood pressure also dropped??? It took overnight for it to happen..
please take care I am so sorry .. if it gets too much go to hospital... if you ring beforehand sometimes they can put you into a procedure room..also an US afterwards is a good idea to make sure there is'nt anything left behind..you don't need an infection afterwards, on top of the emotional termoil..
Maybe they might have said you need something because they may have thought you might not want to *feel* this labour as much or maybe they just say that because they assume you may prefer to use pain relief in labour anyway?
I hope that you have plenty of support around you tonight and I will be thinking of you
I found my first miscarriage, at 6 weeks to be agonizing - period type pain, only SO much worse But my last two miscarriages, both at the same gestation, were not as bad. I personally think this is because there was no panic, I knew what was happening and I knew my body would do the right thing. I was actually stayed at work, even though I knew what was happening - that was probably a denial thing.
I've been thinking of you all night darling. I am hoping things are going as well as they can.
BD brings up a very good point - the blood pressure drop can occur when your body goes into shock. This can occur when there is a blockage against the dilated cervix. I also had this & I required transfusing due to the bleeding. As I've said to you just monitor yourself closely.
You will be in labour just as you were with your live babies & my labour with my still babies was actually longer than my live babies so prepare yourself for that possibility also. (though of course it may not be)
For me my 3 early miscarriages were vastly different to my late losses/births.
Just wanted to let you know you, Ad and your precious baby are in my thoughts tonight. My son was 36 weeks when he passed and for me the labour physically felt the same as my live babies and I held it together until he was born, then it hit me.
I wish I could make it all better for you, I'm so utterly sorry you're going through this pain.
