Last month my husband has had a miscarriage a few days before 12 weeks. I have afew questions but the hospital haven't been able to answer.
Hope someone here can help.
Here is my story.
Sorry very tmi

The day it happen, I was feeling a lot of pain down there and across my lower back (more painful than labour was with our first) I also started to loss a lot of blood, which was coming out in clots. So I knew something wasn't right.
I took myself up to the hospital and within 20mins I was laying down on a bed in the labour and delivery ward having "medical support".

After returning home I had medium to light bleeding for just over three weeks.
Took a pregnancy test, it was negative.
Then five days later I started what I thought was my period. It was a normal period for 5 days, Then the last two days I've had very heavy bleeding and clots again. I'm having to change my pad every hour or so.
I've also had crumps everyday since my miscarriage, and headaches everyday which some days turn into migraines. Which is normal for me at that time of month.

Everyone close to me that's had a miscarriage hasn't had the same experience as me. So I'm a little confused if this is normal.
I was told I'd bleed a little longer than my normal period, then I should expect my period to return with 4-6weeks. I normally only bleed for 3-4 days.

Is it normal to bleed this much?

Sorry for the long post**

I'm so sorry for your loss. Something similar happened to me, I had an infection and needed antibiotics which cleared everything up pretty quickly. It might be worth check in g with your GP Flowers

I’m so sorry for your loss. I am also going through my first miscarriage. I was 11.5 weeks and looking forward to 12 week scan after seeing a healthy heartbeat at our 7.5 week scan. I began to have heavy bleeding so went to the hospital who confirmed the baby had stopped growing at 8.5 weeks (a missed miscarriage apparently where there are no symptoms for a few weeks). They sent me home to finish the process naturally. I then had to come back in for an ultrasound to see whether everything had left my body. I suggest you do the same as it sounds like perhaps your body hasn’t expelled everything. I understand they can do a small medical procedure if needed.

Hey everyone so I recently gave birth in March. I had one period since then, two days ago I was spotting very lightly and the about 2 hours ago I started bleeding nonstop like crazy and then came huge blood clots. My last period was in June. I'm pretty sure I know I wasn't pregnant but tonight these clots look like a miscarriage. Can someone please help?????
