    Is a natural miscarriage more painful than labour?

    I may of started to naturally miscarry, which would be better as I am booked to be induced on Monday, and would prefer to go naturally then head to hossy when I need to.

    Bub is about the size of 14-15 wks.

    Will this be more painful than a full term labour??
    I have had 6 vaginal deliveriues, with no pain releief for any of them, but have been advised by quiet a few people, including the hossy, i will need something for the pain.
    Any experiences that you wish to share would be gratedfully appreciated...

    ( I am now having black/red discharge, and slight cramping. More back ache than anything though)

    I've had a natural miscarriage @13wks which was nowhere near as painful as full-term labour. Just want to send you lots of as you go through this.

    Regards,

    In my experience it's not more painful. It is emotionally of course very different so our body's ability to cope with the pain is less. I am thinking of you my love. I am going out this evening but my phone will be on my person & I am here for you.

    Have you got someone that can support you my love? Ad is grieving in his own way & his fears are understandable. Is there a friend or a Doula in the area that you could contact?

    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..

    Jodie, I am so so sorry for the loss of your precious butterfly.

    I had a natural miscarriage at 14.5 weeks and while the lead up and actual loss was painful physically (like a really heavy feeling in my womb and then a very heavy flow) the 7-10 days afterwards were the worst afterpains I've ever experienced. Worse than my full term babies.

    So my advice is once the baby has arrived, start taking nurofen and panadol - and don't miss a dose for at least the first week. This will at least keep you on top of the discomfort - I felt it the worst if I missed a dose.

    Again I am so sorry for your loss, if you want more explicit details, PM me - I didn't know how much you wanted to know xxxx

    I think my labour when I m/c the 2nd time was longer than any other that I have had, but not more painful. A lot more blood, I also got he same shakiness like in transition in a fullterm live birth just before I birthed.

    My DP was affraid also, so I called my sister to help us both and I am so glad I did. In the end DP was great but I think having my sister there really helped him.

    I am thinking of you all.

    I am now having what I guess is like a normal period... so i guess this is the start...

    Is this likely to just continue without anything happeneing??

    I still have no cramping, just the dull ache.... I just wish it would "happen" or not happen, this in between is just horrible....
