the physical side of a M/C *warning may be TMI*

[Lisa]

I'd been spotting for close to a week... I'd had hcg levels checked and ultrasounds done.
When I did finally miscarry, I knew it was going to happen about 40 minutes before it did. It happened just as we arrived back home. I managed to make it in the door and got to the toilet.
The pain wasn't huge... TBH I was expecting more. There was copious amounts of blood and clots. I remember passing the sac and what I assume was the beginning of the placenta. I continued to pass clots ranging in size from 5c piece size to 2x 50c piece sized for 3 days... after that the clotting stopped and the bleeding turned into light spotting and eventually stopped. The whole process took less than a week.

Hi Dusty,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I don't know if my story is of any help to you, but when I lost my little boy, my placenta didn't come away like it should have, so I had to have it removed in surgery. I had very heavy bleeding a week later with huge blood clots coming away. I was actually in a fabric shop looking for a nice blue sparkly fabric to put around Joshua's 'plactic' container ( I will be burrying his ashes on his due date in Feb )and then all of a sudden I felt like something was coming down and I had to run to the nearest shop with a toilet and then I almost passed out from the blood loss and massive clots. I was very scared to move anywhere for a few days afterwards, in case it happened again, so I didn't venture out again until the bleeding stopped completely. I was really freaked out as I've never experienced such heavy bleeing and clotting ever. After this incident in the shop, I bled for another week ( not very heavy ) and then within 4 weeks in total after I had Joshua, the bleeding stopped.

Take care of yourself, big hugs.

So sorry to read of your loss.

My 1st was spotting to start, then cramping, and then bleeding lightly for a few hours, bad cramping and then after about 12 hours passed some big clots, and continued bleeding like a period for 4 - 5 days.

2nd was D & C - missed m/c.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this hun.
My 1st m/c was at 9 weeks and I was later told it was prob a blighted ovum.
I had bleeding like a period then more cramping then I remember sitting on the loo and the sac coming out and I held it and sobbed my heart out cause I realised that it really was all over. I had the next day off work and went back on the following Monday i think.
I continued to bleed for a couple of days then stopped and had a normal AF the next month.

I'm sorry for your loss. My losses were all around the 5/6 week mark.

#1 was a week or two (over ten years ago so I've forgotten) of constant brown sludge. No pain.
#2 was a few days of light occasional spotting followed by 3 days of light bleeding (less than a normal period). Some small clots. I got dehydrated & had to be on a drip for a little while. No pain.
#3 was pretty much the same as #2 but no dehydration & had a little bit of back pain.

Dusty, I have nothing to share, but I did want to pop in and say how very, very sorry I am for your loss. When I saw the title of this thread my heart broke for you. I am just so sorry.
