I had the spotting for a week and a half before it started and then very heavy and cramping for a night, then like a normal AF for about a week. I was 9 weeks.
With my natural ones the bleeding started within a couple of days, but the pain wasn't there the whole time. At the start I would get what I assume are contractions - extremely painful bursts of period type pain - then once I had passed a few clots, I just kept bleeding for a few days, very heavily.
When I had a d&c, it wasn't like that, there was virtually no pain, but a lot of blood. After 6 weeks of that I ended up having a d&c.
For one of mine, i had brown spotting and cramps on and off for a week and bit, then I had some bleeding that lasted almost 8 weeks. it was a bit hard going, and probably should of been a D&C but OB wasn't for it (I miscarried at 10 weeks...baby stopped at 8 weeks)
another one I had (later in the first tri), started off as spotting the day before then the following lunchtime was hard and fast for a couple of hours where towards the end I passed the baby. after that it practically stopped. some light period-like bleeding for about 5ish days.
I would go for as long as you are comfortable. I am sorry that you are going through this
I'm so sorry you're going through this hun. Massive
You already know my story so I wont go into detail about it again.
I just wanted to say for you to be careful of infection. I totally understand the want for naturally birthing your baby but you need to take care of yourself aswell.
Have you been keeping in close contact with your GP/Dr?
I'm so sorry you have lost your baby. All my m/c started as spotting, then pretty much bleeding like a heavy period in a few days. I think it would be best to go back and have another scan & bloods to see what is happening.
