Is this normal following a missed miscarriage ? Advice please.

[kakiqueen]

Hello everyone,
I hope it's ok to ask this question here as I've not found an answer whilst googling :
I suffered a missed miscarriage on Tuesday this week at 7+1, but the embryo had not developed past 5+2 weeks, according to the ultrasonographer.

I 've been bleeding heavily on and off since Tuesday evening and I'm fairly sure that things are progressing as they should.
One thing worries me a lot though:
I've had really bad diarrhoea several times a day since Tuesday (sorry if it's TMI).

Has anyone else experienced this ? It's really getting me down and making me feel even more exhausted than I already am.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi kaki just wanted to say I'm sorry you too have had to go through this. I found that with my MMC that I had period pains x100 which usually results in very urgent and a lot looser bowel movements than is normal for me. It was also quite painful to go to the loo for a while. Apparently the contractions of your uterus during a period (and more so during a MMC) make your guts go into overdrive.

Definitely not glamorous!

Hello Endmoor,
Thank you so much for your reply.
It does make sense. I guess that whole area is inflamed.

Hi - so sorry for your miscarriage it's a terribleTime, been there many times. Yes your hormones are rife so your body does strange things in fact it panicked me when I was pregnant with DS as I had a terrible bout of tummy trouble and was so upset it may be a miscarriage (it wasn't) - as PP said it's not a glamorous time but it will pass and you can TTC again. It is a bit like bad period pains and I had hot flushes when the embryo was passing, I even retained a bit of tissue which expelled itself at my next period. I hope you're ok. I always used to think that another chance is just around the corner - not sure if that helps. Take care

Thank you Flumpy,
That does help. It's good to hear I'm not alone in feeling like this.
We're desperate to ttc again, so I just want time to pass and get on with it.

I know how you feel. Take a week or two to enjoy those things you can't have in pregnancy ... I always had Brie, pate and wine it made me feel a bit better and it was a long time without when TTC did work (twice! .... ) So give yourself some space to be you and get back on that TTC wagon
