ashie, I'm really sorry you are going through this and hope it all turns out ok.

As for wondering what a miscarriage is like this early I can tell you as I had one almost 2 weeks ago when I was around 6 weeks pregnant (I rekon it was closer to 5 weeks though). Anyway, it was just like a normal period for me. There were a few clots but they weren't big or anything. I didn't have a 'gush' of blood or anything and wasn't filling pads, it was more like a steady period for a couple of days and then it tapered off....Basically, the miscarriage started on Tuesday morning and both Tuesday and Wednesday were period type bleeding. By Thursday morning it was just very light and by Thursday evening I didn't even bother with a pay anymore... As for the cramps for me it was maybe a little more than a normal period (for the first day really). To be honest, there wasn't much difference full stop. For me, the best way for me to describe the whole thing was 'it was like having my period'.
