On Friday I woke up in the middle of the night to find I was bleeding heavily after a small amount of spotting the previous day. Went to hospital and was admitted and it was confirmed that I had a miscarriage. Myself and my husband were absolutely devastated. We had only had the booking appointment two days prior and everything was looking good and we finally allowed ourselves to feel a bit excited about things. Don't get me wrong we were happy to find out we were pregnant but I'm very cautious by nature and felt like I had been holding my breath till someone said things looked ok. Had the scan around lunchtime and they said that most of the pregnancy had gone by that time and they were happy to let things progress naturally.

I've been bleeding since Friday while not in the same volume and this morning it looked like it had stopped but it started back up again an hour ago, is this normal to still be bleeding 5 days later?

This was our first pregnancy and we had been trying for nearly a year, decided to take a break when I had to be on antibiotics and steroids for a few weeks and hadn't officially gotten back to trying so we were surprised that it had finally happened. I think we're dealing with it ok, it comes and goes really. For the first few days I was so angry but not really sure what specifically at and felt like a total failure and now am at the point where I'm still feeling so sad but things are maybe not looking quite so dark as they were. I know that one way or another I will get another chance one day

Oh OP I am so sorry for your loss, although mc are so common it never takes away from how devastating that this is to women and their partners.

I hope you are both taking the time to talk and care for each other. Sending you love at this sad time.

I had an early miscarriage and bled for around 7 days, apparently the later the mc the longer the bleeding can continue. If you are still bleeding after 2 weeks I would recommend going to Dr/hospital for them to scan to ensure that everything has come away to ensure that you don't get an infection.

You will go through a number of emotions over the next while, all completely natural. Again, I'm very sorry for your loss Thanks

Sorry for your loss Flowers I think anything up to 2 weeks is normal x

Also, your next period might also be heavier. Mine was and I have heard this is common x
