Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

? about natural m/c

Thank you for your responses to my question about d&c vs. natural m/c.  I had a ? for those that did end on miscarring on their own after the baby had no heatbeat.

I just started having brown spotting yesterday.  Is this how the miscarriage started for you?  I guess I am wondering what to expect b/c I am scared to death that it is going to happen at work.  I know everyone's experience is different. 

Re: ? about natural m/c

  • Mine started with just regular spotting and alot of cramping and then progressed throughout the day and the next day.  The next night is when the actual loss happened, I was 8 weeks along.  Good luck, and hugs.

  • I had a blighted ovum and a natural m/c. The bleeding and cramping was preceded by brown discharge. I am glad I was able to m/c naturally. It has been a week and I have occassional spotting. Hope the info helps.

  • ask your dr
  • I had one that started with weeks of brown spotting and one that just suddenly started bleeding and the cramping/contractions progressed from there.  Everyone is different, but in my experience it was progressive.  good luck.

  • I agree w/ pp.  Everyione is different.  FWIW, mine started with light brown spotting then changed suddenly a week later to dark brown spotting.  My Dr. told me to expect that it will be like a heavy period and to wear only pads, not tampons.  I had increased cramping until it happened and then a couple days of medium bleeding after that, which was just this weekend.  I'm just spotting today with a little cramping here and there. 

    I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you'll be able to get through this terrible time quickly.  I felt better prepared for the loss by my doctor telling me what exactly to expect.

  • I woke up Tuesday morning and when I went to the bathroom, I had a very, very tiny amount of brown on the toilet paper when I wiped.  Then I went to work thinking nothing of it and nothing happened all day.  I went to bed at 9pm and woke at 10:30 with terrible cramps, went to the bathroom and passed some clots.  I passed more that night and the following day, along with some tissue.  The heavy bleeding lasted for about 3 days then it was light and I haven't had any spotting since Saturday, although I'm terrified it's going to return.
  • I waited a full month after to see if I would naturally m/c and I spotted through the whole month. I even had terrible cramps and thought for sure it was going to happen but it didnt. In the end we had to do the d&c.

    I know its hard right now and hopefully your body will take care of naturally. Tons of hugs to you. ?I am sorry you are going through this right now. ??

  • my m/c started like your's.  i started spotting on thursday, bleeding began on friday and i miscarried on saturday.  i had enough warning that i didn't worry went i went to work.  i went prepared each day, in case i started to really bleed, with a towel to sit on in the car (i didn't need it) and huge pads.
