Husband has gone to the gym and I am having a miscarriage - really?

Just that really. Utterly dumbfounded. We have just got home after tiring day at EPU. I'm miscarrying at 7+4 (PUL) and he has gone to the gym as soon as dds were in bed. I'm not supposed to be on my own due to risk of ectopic but more than that I'd imagined having a cuddle on the sofa and some support emotionally. WTAF.

The sac / tissue will be like a fleshy pink colour. You may get lots of clots that will look like bits of liver / kidney. And yes you could pass placenta which will look like placenta. When I had mine removed in hospital after it became stuck she did show us some of the bits she was taking out that were like what you describe.

Did they tell you what size your sack was on the scan that confirmed mmc?

Also what I found was if you are having mild contraction type pains these will ramp up just before you are due to pass anything.

And while trying not to be too graphic experienced a number of that type thing passing in my case over a 48 hour period when having a miscarriage and don't be alarmed if, without warning, it feels like you are effectively passing a stool through your vagina. Just make sure to get to bathroom quickly as it will leak so never be far from a bathroom if possible. Look after yourself you have my sympathy

Sorry I didn't reply yesterday - thank you for the replies. I can't remember what my scan letter said now but I think what I passed yesterday was the placenta, having spoken to gynae doctor. It was completely different to normal clots - it wouldn't have soaked into a pad, it was solid. I have felt much better since that passed (although dealing with it at the world's grottiest services was less than ideal.)

I'm feeling more positive today. Caught my husband crying outside yesterday - he's definitely upset by it all. I'm not sure I'll ever totally understand his behaviour but if I was going to take any positive from the last few days it would be that perhaps this has highlighted the need for him to figure out what his priorities are.

Thanks for all the support - it's been wonderful. Long live MN.
