This is my second miscarriage, first one was a Missed miscarriage after 7 weeks with no pain or signs of blood etc. After two rounds of medical management and then an operation the pregnancy passed however it was a long drawn out process.

I have started bleeding this time however this has been three days of all I can discribe as a light period, no pain or discomfort, blood when I wipe but not filling a pad. I am reading others accounts and just don’t know whether that will happen to me and what I can do.

Knowing how long the last time took, I feel confident Mother Nature might not do it’s Job and want to just get this over and done with.

Anything I can do or talk to?

Have you been to the EPAU?
Sometimes bleeding in early pregnancy doesn't mean a miscarriage.

My 2nd was a missed miscarriage too, eventually concluded after around 5 weeks with medication, I'm sorry yours sounds like it was so drawn out.

My 1st & 3rd were quite early (around 6 weeks) & quite like a heavier period.

Agree with PP, blessing doesn't mean the worst. I'd call your local EPU and see what they say

I'm sorry to hear that. With my MMC, I found things slowed down when I stopped moving. Much as I didn't feel like it, going for a walk or walking up and down the stairs seemed to keep things moving. I still ended up having medication but only for the last bit, I managed to pass most beforehand. Whenever I sat or lay down it seemed to slow right down for me. That's just my experience so it may not work for you, but it did make me feel like I was doing something to help too.

You’re right, I notice it a lot more walking the dog. I am wondering whether they would give me medications sooner if I asked
