Cramping after MC

Hi, just come for a bit of advice. Had a miscarriage at 5 weeks 2 weeks ago, completely stopped bleeding after 7 days but the cramping has continued. Sat with a hot water bottle because it’s so bad. Is this normal? I have read a bit about uterus having to shrink back down but I was very early on so I don’t think it would need to shrink that much! I do get ovulation cramps and pain so maybe the MC and ovulation pain have just mixed together?

Very sorry for your loss.

Yes I remember these pains after my MC and I was told it down to my body getting back to normal.
I can't remember them being that painful I need a hot water bottle etc though so I would say it's deffo worth a phone call to GP for some peace of mind.
