Sorry to hear that, it's a horrible thing for any woman to go thru...i lost a baby at 8 weeks last October. It had taken me about 6 or 7 months to get preggo. Dr told me to wait 3 months b4 trying again, but my friends told to try again right away becuz i would be more fertile. So i waited just until i had my first period after the m/c and got preggo again right away. I had my little girl in Sept.
@RedShadoe0 Are you passing the pregnancy naturally? When I had my MC's, my OB had me do the cytotec (misoprostol) with the first one, and it was over in about 4 hours. It was painful, but after the bulk of things had passed (it was only really painful for the 4 hrs or so, then cramping), it was just like a heavy period. The second MC, I again did cytotec, but that time not everything passed and I ended up having A LOT of heavy bleeding. I ended up needing a D&C after that one. Honestly, after the traumatizing second MC, the D&C was definitely the easy route, physically and emotionally. I had Tylenol 3 for after the procedure and felt back to normal in about 48 hours.
If you're passing it naturally, I never did that, but a girlfriend of mine did. She said she had a lot of cramping until she passed everything, then was fine afterwards. Hope all of that helps you, hon. It will be physically over quickly. The emotional part is another story. Again, I'm around if you want to talk some more. xoxo
The dr gave medication to insert in my vagina to force the m/c as i was not showinh any signs of m/c. They did an ultrasound and bloodwork to verify the baby had stopped growing. It was extremely painful to the point that i had to use pain medication & even that didnt help much. It only lasted a few hours as i recall but i bled for several weeks after.
As if the emotional isnt enough we get intense physical pain too, doesnt seem fair. It shouldnt last too long. Hugs
No, he said as long as I'm bleeding and cramping, my body is taking care of it alone. He said in 2 weeks if my hormone levels aren't normal, they'll have to go in ... But he wants to try and keep everything natural. And my friend here has been thru 3 miscarriages... She agrees that its worse than labor too... But hey! Gives me hope! If I can get thru this, labor should be easy
I went all natural with my m/c last year. No pain Meds besides Advil. (The doc wouldn't give me anything) The pain for me lasted about 4-5 days but the bleeding was about 2 weeks. My back pain was the worst. The emotional part is still healing. Definitely makes me grateful for making it to 37 weeks with my baby girl that will hopefully be here soon! Good luck honey! It's not easy!
I know all this stuff induces labor but they never did anything with me like this. I had contractions for about 24 - 36 hours before I went in. I didn't know what they were, just figured cramps. My doc told me I was passing a bleed I had in my placenta and just to stay home. But the pain was so bad so I went to the er. When I got there they were 5min. apart and they hurt so bad! They gave me a shot to keep them going but they said it was like a mild form of pitocin. Is it the same stuff you're talking about?
My miscarriage was like a period, it was very crampy and for about 3 days the pain was very strong, they gave me pain meds to help and I passed everything naturally.
Yeah, this was like a period... Cept like @babydoll1823 is was the back pain that was killing me. I can handle normal period type cramps (even tho these were worse than 'normal') but my poor BACK.... It was absolutely agonizing. Thank God for vicodin. Today I woke up normal.... No cramps so far today so hopefully it had passed. Today is day 4. Now if this bleeding would just stop!!!! Emotionally I am fine now... At peace with things... This baby wasn't meant to be, but there will be another one (hopefully soon) that will be perfect. That's what I keep telling myself @skysma@rtmommy
I had extremely bad bleeding and cramps from week six to week fifteen. There were times I could fill several pads an hour. Sorry Tmi, but im now 26 weeks. I know its scary but try to stay positive . Im here if you need to talk. Lots of prayers for you.
I'm sorry your going through this my prayers are with you... But I had bleeding at the beganing as well so we went to get checked everything was fine save I had my baby girl 3 weeks ago so try your best to focus on the positive I'm sure its hard after what the doc said and the fact that u have been trying for so long but stress is the last thing u need try and rest like they said and please keep us updated I hope they have good news for u
that's an amazing attitude you have I wish I was that patient ... But you are right it all happens I'm the best timing we just don't know it at the time.
