Thankyou for putting my mind at ease. As the miscarriage was quite a trauma with a lot of blood I ws kept in hospital on drips for 2 days and had a lot of pains. (althought the emotional is 1000 times worse). I was so worried that I could end up with a repeat of being rushed to hospital. Guess my hormones are controlling my mind aswell as my heart at the moment.

Hi
Sorry for the unpleasantness Of title. I was taken into hospital 4 days ago after severe bleeding and clots and after scan the following day I was told I had miscarried and there were a few clots remaining. I was sent home without d and c and given a blood test next day to confirm my hormone level had dropped ( it was 90 yesterday). Hospital treatment has been a lot to be desired in many ways and I was concerned that I wasnt having a d and c as the doctors were conflicting and one had told me I would need one day before. I am bleeding with slight cramp and slight clots but have noticed it is smelling unpleasant. Is this normal? Should I contac someone about a D and C? I was told that I was going to be given anti-biotics when I left hospital for a urine infection but I was not given any. Not sure if I could have a problem or if I need to just wait and bleed for a few weeks as they told me. Please advise as Im a real worrier and dont think I can bear to go back to hospital but then dont want another trauma

really sorry to hear what you're going through. I went through something similar afte m/c last nov. I didn't have a d&c and they thought that the bits if tissue left over would be expelled on their own. After a week or so i noticed that my blood was smelly and almost black, i rang my gp and she gave me antibiotics and it cleared up. She said that i hadn't needed a d&c as the baby and sac etc had all gone.
You don't need to panic but I would def go and get some antibiotics as you may have a bit of an infection.

Sending you a hug cos i know what you're going through, feel free to pm anytime, Rach x x x
