Morning sickness after miscarriage - how long does this go on?

[bellainthemiddle]

I had a miscarriage now almost 2 weeks ago, at 6/7 weeks. It all seemed to be straightforward and I didn't have to go to the hospital. I booked a follow-up GP appointment for this week, but it got cancelled.

This is the first time this has happened to me and I'm a bit surprised that I'm still getting morning sickness this long afterwards. To be honest, I actually wondered if it was a bug, but it's consistently worse in the morning than any other time. I'm also still a bit bloated.

Has anyone else experienced this and... How long does it go on for? I feel like it's a bit much to have morning sickness AFTER a miscarriage!

I think you should go to hospital to make sure the miscarriage has completed I've had 8 miscarriages and 3 of those had problems where I thought it was completed but there were retained products (sorry awful phrase) causing me to still have pregnancy symptoms I ended up having to do for a d&c.

Very sorry to hear of your miscarriage i know how you must be feeling right now and yes having morning sickness this long after is very cruel. for you op xxx

Sorry for your losses :flowers: and thank you for the advice. I am wondering if I go to the hospital if I need to go to the EPU or if straightforward emergency would be the best bet? I might go to C+W as they decide where to send you after triage (so I won't end up wasting A&E's time and money if its not necessary!).

I just threw up my lunch straight after eating it (sorry tmi)!) and I really wonder if it is just a bug... But I know that by the evening, I'll feel fine!

I rang up the GP surgery, who said it probably is a good idea to go to the hospital, to be on the safe side. Sorted things out so that I can go this evening, so at least I will know whether or not there is a problem. I am crossing my fingers that there isn't because D+C sounds a bit scary to me!

I really hope you get some answers. A d&c sounds scary but the staff will give you the best care and make sure you're comftable throughout. It's also a good way to access some counselling if you feel it would benefit you. Do you have someone to go with you? Xxx

Still waiting! DP will makes arrangements to come if needed, but for the moment I'm in my own (friend from work came with me, but then had to leave). It will just be nice to get a clearer idea of what is going on, anyway!

Thanks for the advice @Sickandtired02 - it turned out that it was just as well I went in because despite what I'd thought, things hadn't completed and I will have to go for a d&c. Eek! I asked why a d&c because (from what I read) it seems unusual for this to be done when the pregnancy was under 10 weeks, but apparently this is the best option in my case.

I also got a bit of a telling off for not seeking medical advice when it happened and getting myself checked out. So a lesson learned - although I am hoping it's not one I'll need to remember, really.

Feeling weirdly shaken up about everything! :S
