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.

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 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. ??
