Aww Dusty, I am so sorry... It really isn't nice.

I am not sure if you wanted others experiences here, but I think it is a good idea for those who may be waiting for a natural loss.
I remember when I lost my bub a couple of years ago it was a lot like you described. The initial sign was what I think may have been my waters breaking (I was only 8 and a bit weeks) with brown blood. It wasn't til the next day the red bleeding started with what I assume was the sac. (TMI!!) A few days after I remember checking my cervix and could feel something there. When it finally came lose I realised it was part of the placenta, it was grainy and bluish purple in colour.

I can't say I cramped a whole lot, and bleed for about 10 days.

I really feel the physical is no where near as bad as the emotional!!

Thank you for sharing Dusty
