Small amount of bleeding

Thinking the worst. Had mild cramping today and went to the toilet and there's a small amount of blood with small clots. This will be my second miscarriage since October 💔. I'm just questioning how I can have one healthy pregnancy to then have two losses back to back. I can't help but think it is a loss. Have a…

Lost baby at 5w2d and have been bleeding since yesterday afternoon. Just wandering what time frame others have bled for duri...

Missed miscarriage

Hi all.. I’m going through a missed miscarriage but I have my ‘one week’ scan on Monday from the initial one last Monday. After researching about a MMC (and not being provided with much info from my hospital), I’m hoping they will give me the option for a D&C. I wanted to know how long any ladies have had to wait...

I’m so tired of people thinking I’m getting over it/feeling better a few weeks past miscarriage.

I guess they are just lucky enough not to be in this position. But I can hand on heart say I won’t be “okay” again. I will just live differently from now. Sometimes “happy”, but always little hollower inside thinking about what was lost. The grief will be with me until my dying day. Part of me wants to feel this way...

Frustrating inbetween

Miscarriage ptsd?

I’m curious pregnant mommas…if you’ve never had a miscarriage, do you still check the TP every time you wipe when you use the restroom? Or is that a ptsd from miscarriage thing only? I’m 20.5 weeks and I STILL check the TP every time I wipe and if I feel discharge leaking out of me throughout the day, I go out of my...

I originally thought I had some retained tissue but New Year’s Day I passed another clot and since then my bleeding has ...

Miscarriage

This is quite a weird question, however I want my partner to know how I feel about having another missed miscarriage (I’ve had 2 in 4 months) but without saying it myself to him (I’m not much of a talker and can’t seem to talk about it properly)… How would you describe the feeling of having a miscarriage?
