Miscarriage help!

[Starrynight999]

So started brown spotting 2 days ago only slightly and now when I wipe I’m bleeding, please help!! How painful is this going to be? I’m 6 weeks… I have seen people saying it’s comparable to labour! I cannot deal with that at home with paracetamol that’s horrific!

I had a 13 week miscarriage and I coped with paracetamol. The pain was comparable with mid labour pains, but not like close to birth pains. I hope you're ok, OP.

OP I had a lot of miscarriages and some were not very painful. Some were, but you seem to be over the worst. I hope so, anyway.

I agree with @TheShellBeach, not every miscarriage is agony. I had one at 7wks which was just like a normal period. I know from having HCG monitored that the pregnancy never took off properly so in effect it was a bit like a prolonged CP. Even my MMC at 11+4 (baby had stopped developing at 7+5) was very manageable with paracetamol and hot water bottle. It was nowhere near like my labour with my son. There were very mild contractions akin to early stage labour. Some people do have horrific experiences but I wouldn't torment yourself with fears that it's going to be this horrendously painful thing. That absolutely doesn't have to be the case. Try to hold on to positives until your scan confirms the actual situation for you. 💕

I hope your scan was okay, @Starrynight999

I expect they'll have told you if you need any further treatment.

uterus is empty apart from thick wall or something where pregnancy was so they think it’s all passed, but test still strong positive so wanna keep eye it’s not ectopic so go another scan next Monday and do another test x

Well, although that's very sad, are you feeling less worried about the pain side of things?
And I'm so sorry you've lost your baby.

Yeah I just feel relived now as horrible as that sounds it’s all over, it’s just too mentally draining

@Starrynight999 ah bless you, I'm glad you've had some closure on it, and good they're being extra cautious with one last scan. I remember feeling relieved also. It's so sad but once you know the baby has gone you don't want it dragging on and on. I found I was able to start processing the emotional side of things once the physical loss was confirmed. Go gently on yourself the next few days. Hope you've got some good support around you. Sorry again for your loss 💕
