Miscarriage pain relief help

Also how long does the heavy bleeding and pain last

Hey Chloe if the pain is really bad you should call EPU and get stronger pain killers to manager the pain. I was bleeding for nearly 4 days and EPU gave me strong pain killers to help.

Duration and pain of the period depends on lot of factors - size of the sac etc.

Sorry I know that is not helping but I would recommend you to call EPU and take painkillers to manage the pain. Heating pad really helped me manage my pain levels

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. For context my MMC, I started feeling bad period cramps early morning, by 10am I was screaming in agony on the living room floor feeling contractions as though I was in labour. Called 111 and they sent a prescription for cocodamol, husband picked it up but I’d taken paracetamol so couldn’t take it within 4 hours. By 5pm I couldn’t cope and went to A&E, was seen very quickly and given gas&air and morphine and by then could have cocodamol too. At 11pm and after a minor procedure to see if a trapped clot was causing the intense pain I passed it. I was embarrassed, but the gynae registrar who saw me said they had at least one person in miscarrying per night in the same amount of pain, and that it’s okay and correct I came for help. Moral of the story is your pain is valid and seek help if you need it, don’t feel like you have to try and manage alone. Especially if you’re heavily bleeding too ♥️

I went today to the epu I refused the vaginal ultrasound as I’m just in too much pain and bleeding too much so they said there’s nothing they can do but the sack is still there but it’s empty. I have to go back in a weeks time. I asked for advice on pain relief as I can’t take codeine or co-codamol she said just take paracetamol no ibroprofen until they confirm the baby’s gone which seems ridiculous to me it’s pretty clear. But Thankyou for sharing your stories I definitely will take your advice and call 111 if I genuinely cannot cope.

I was meant to be 11 weeks

@Chloe I was in the same situation a couple of weeks ago and they asked me to come back in 2 weeks as due to guidelines they had to wait minimum 2 weeks after seeing the sac. I could not do the vaginal scan due to pain so they did scan on my stomach on my week 8. I was also on ivf medication which they asked me to continue until 10 weeks and then they could tell me next steps. I decided to stop the medication and let the sac pass naturally as waiting longer would have had meant more medication in my body and empty sac could have had potentially grown slightly. @Chloe look after yourself and I hope the pain goes away soon x

I’ve been rushed into surgery as the pain id say is personally worse then labour and was pouring with blood. Feel much much better now although quite drugged up. But I’m sorry to hear you went through the same thing🤍 it’s the most heartbreaking thing to have gone through especially now I’m on a ward with pregnant people. Xx

@Chloe I can imagine the pain must be unbearable. Glad you got help and the medication is helping. Just trust that the pain will pass and you will be back to normal soon xx lot of love.

Lots*

@Chloe I’m so sorry this is happening 😢 Can they not move you to a normal women’s ward? I find it appalling I’m so sorry 💔

I went unmediated 3days ago. I’m still bleeding and it’s fresh red right now so it’s just coming out like liquid. But I was in the worst state of physical pain and emotional. I managed it and I’m proud to be honest that my body was able to push out whatever had went wrong with the pregnancy. As for the amount of blood I feel like it’s so much I had lost. On top of that I’ve had 3 separate times for my blood taken to get tested. I’m scared incase I have won’t have much blood left at this rate. I’d say your body knows what to do and how much needs to be let go. . The pain is the worst but it’s actually less painful than a birth however it is emotional draining that takes most of the pain. Nobody should have to go thru this. It’s basically giving birth with no reward at the end, no happy feelings just empty. But it’s an experience and a time to reflect. I hope you are doing okay now and you will get what you feel you need xo

@Madeleine I was moved eventually to a gyno ward x

@Amy Unfortunately it wasn’t possible for me to pass it naturally due to the clots being stuck inside my cervix therefore they needed to get it out asap as it was causing me to haemorrhage. How are you feeling now? Both mentally and physically? But you’re absolutely right the feeling of emptiness is so over whelming the feeling of your baby should be safe in your womb but instead you’re feeling it pass out of you. I seriously don’t think they have enough support for women who go through this at all. Hope all is okay with you x

@Amy also have they gave you any iron for the amount of blood lost? Xx

@Chloe no they haven’t given me any medication or nothing. X

@Chloe thanks for messaging. My fiancee and I are feeling very angry and upset. Since this is my first pregnancy experience and I kept calling the EPU and it was too late before they did much. I’m okay tho I can try again soon I was just very angry trying to keep my emotions in check. How about you? X

@Amy that was the same for me I was trying since last Friday they only saw me yesterday that was the morning before the pain started. I think some of them are useless and make you wait that long to see if it can happen ‘naturally’ less hassle for them. Stay strong you’ll be a mummy one day 🤍it’s the thought of it happening again it’s put me off for life trying for another baby x

@Chloe thank you, yes I agree they were acting like everything would be fine but they knew exactly when I needed help. I’m scared to try again now but I am desperate too. My family was excited after I told them and now they just feel sorry for me. My fiancee and I are both really getting ourselves ready so hopefully we can get a successful pregnancy next 💕 I hope you’re doing okay x

@Amy wishing you all the best fingers crossed for you. I’m doing better Thankyou xx
