Miscarriage Symptoms

Hi K.!

It can be difficult to tell if you have had a miscarrage especially if you were not that far along. Usually if you miscarry you will have very heavy bleeding and some very big clots will come out. You usually have very bad cramps also, feels like you have to push something out. Hope this helps a little.

I have not miscarried before, but i was with my sister-in-law at the time of hers. Her symptonms were, extreme cramping, a lot of pressure, and them she passed a clot and then all her symptoms went away. I hope this helps in some way and I wish you luck. Definatley check with your doctor as well..

I agree with these posts. I thought I was having a miscarriage with my third child around 10 weeks. I had the cramps and the bleeding and the hospital put me on bed rest for a weekend until I got into the doctor's office to have it confirmed. It turned out to not be a miscarriage, but a non cancerous tumor of some sort that went away on its own during pregnancy and was no big deal. To be sure I would want to see the doctor.

Call the doctor ASAP

I'm sorry to hear of your difficulties. Miscarriages are more the norm for me. In fact, I'm hoping right now not to be on the path to #5. Without a blood test (for HCG levels), a confirmed pregnancy test, or an ultrasound, there is now way to know for sure. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor. My family doctor gave my a referral to an infertility specialist that gave me lots of good answers. All the while my normal OB/GYN said everything was normal. It wasn't! We have had great success with normal pregnancies and fewer miscarriages as a result of having seen the specialist. If your ob doesn't do anything, I would check out someone more specialized. I know a great doctor in the Lakewood/Wheatridge area if you need a recommendation. I haven't seen him personally yet. I "accidently" got pregnant, so now I have to go to my regular OB before I can see him. It's a fun problem. :) I hope you get some answers. I know not knowing is frustrating.

The best thing to do is to go to the doctor. In a case where you're not sure, I think it's best to find out because if you were, you may need a D&C, or you may not have miscarried at all but still may be pregnant.
Go to the doctor. :)
