The First Period After a Miscarriage

[Liz]

Mine was like a normal period. It was a bit 'fleshy' but otherwise like a normal period. My actual miscarriage was like a heavy period (plus a few globby bits) It was reminiscent of my teenage years & the cramps I always had on the first day. So maybe because the miscarriage itself wasn't dramatic that's why my first AF afterwards wasn't very dramatic either

I hope what you've got is all normal and is over quickly for you.

mine was pretty yucky too. Hope it's over quickly for you

Thank you all for sharing.

From what I have heard...what I am experiencing is quite normal.


I might also just add....

My period started the day after I had a "Closing the Bones" ritual done with the Rebozo by my very close fellow Doula friends.

We did the ritual. We cried together. And I felt somewhat....lighter.

I like to think that this whole process is a sign of my whole being beginning the process of moving forward.

Thanks again for sharing your stories with me. I appreciate you.

Ok I'm back again....

So I got what I thought was my period 11 days ago, I bled like a period up until about a week after it started. But I didn't completely stop bleeding. Now I've just gone too the loo and wiped and have bright red/mucousy blood again.

I know its probably my body still getting back to normal...But is this simimlar to your experiences???

I had that happen, it was because I went running and had torn the lining again, apparently it's still quite fragile. I spotted for a few days and then it disappeared.
