I'm 6 weeks and been bleeding for 3 days no pain at all it's like a period and stops overnight

Mainly just when I am active

I've never experienced a miscarriage before so don't know what to expect. I thought I would have some pain

Sorry you're going through this. I had a miscarriage on Saturday, and my bleeding is tapering off now. I think it will stop today. I was 10.5 weeks. I had some cramps a bit like intense period pain for a couple of minutes each time I passed a clot but otherwise didn't really have any pain. Take care of yourself xxx

This thread is making me feel better. I looked at the stories on the miscarriage association website and they are horrific. I am currently MMC waiting to miscarry, it's my first pregnancy/first MC and I'm terrified xxx

Sorry to hear you are going through this too. Mine was also a MMC, picked up at the 12 week scan, and it was my first pregnancy too, so I understand how you feel. Just like you I was terrified about what was going to happen and could only find horror stories online, which really didn’t help! I have found the physical side of things manageable and much less difficult than I expected though, and the worst of it was over very quickly. For the most part, it was just like a heavy period. All the very best to you xxx

I've had three miscarriages. Once the spotting turns to a bleed, there will be a few days of period like bleeding and then it usually becomes sporadic bleeding, for me triggered by activity, once a clot has passed for another week or so.

Sorry you are all experiencing this. It does get easier.
