My heart really goes out to you. I miscarried 7 weeks ago when I was 12 weeks +5 days. I started spotting for a day then bleeding increased and continued for 2 days until we had our 12 week scan where we were told that our baby had no heartbeat and I was told that the miscarriage had already started so I opted for expectant management to let it pass naturally which was recommended by the hospital. When I left the hospital, my cramps started getting quite heavy and a few hours later, the main event happened where I couldn't get off the toilet for over an hour, severe cramps and passing lots of tissue, clots and blood. I don't think anyone can prepare you for what happens in all honesty. I felt a lot better after this but for around 5 day after, I had continuous bleeding but also had random spells of severe cramps, extremely heavy bleeding, passing clots and tissue.
Unfortunately, my process still hasn't ended. I've bled continuously for 7 weeks. I even went to hospital 2 weeks ago for a scan where they confirmed I had retained product, so I opted for medical management which doesn't seem to have worked as I didn't have the severe cramps or heavy bleeding that the hospital said I'd have and didn't pass any tissue, and I'm still bleeding to date.
In fact, for the past 3 days, my bleeding has been extremely heavy which I'm now thinking could be a period but contacted the EPU just to be sure and they have booked me in for another scan!
This post isn't to scare you and do remember that everyone is different so I hope you don't have the same experience as me, but Mumsnet is a great support network and helps you to understand that you're not alone. There are so many success stories following miscarriage so I'm sure all will be ok, it's hard to see the positives when you're down but you will be fine, just give yourself time to heal and grieve. Crying is a healer in my book!
The advice I could give you is to stock up on paracetamol, keep your pads next to the loo, cry, talk about it and rest! ❤
