i started to have my miscarriage at 7 weeks but the baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks. i experieced a little blood like a normal period for about a week, and a little pain, no more that period pain but not constant, more like sudden cramps.

On the seventh day i started passing large clots and the pain became intense and constant, i was taken to A&E by ambulance in the early hours of the morning as i was in too much pain to drive, where i was just dismissed really, i can only think its because im young im only 17, but anyway was just sent home with painkillers. That night and the next the day the pain continued and was agonising. Again i was rushed to hospital, but the pregnancy unit this time. My mum was with me now so they seemed to take me more seriously, test ext were done and i had to have an emergancy surgical removal as there was a block or soemthing which is why the pain was so intense.

ive never really spoken to anyone about my experience, is what happened to me normal, i havent heard of this happening to anymone else? How long do miscarrages usually last for, how bad is the pain meant to be? can anyone answer my questions? i still dont really know what happened and why.

Thats so terrible, i mean did they know you were pregnant first time? Hospitals some times are shocking. I was rushed in in severe pain throwing up and i passed out, they knew i was pregnant and it was obviously ectopic but i was just drugged up and kept waiting all night. Theyre awful.
As to m/c its true there is no normal. Mine started with literally tiny bleeding day one then over the next few days i was losing more blood and eventually clots. Then by day 3 something just like popped and from then i just bled non stop and baby came out (sorry TMI). I went straight to doctors and right away they did a d n c where they take the baby out. I wasnt in Uk though at the time, and i know over here they wouldnt have done that so soon. Im so glad they did because it stopped the bleeding and i felt so much better, and my AF next month was really light.
Talking about it will really help, and reading other peoples experiences and how they feel so you know everything youre going through, youre not alone, and if youre feeling down after it thats totally 'normal'. Whatever you feel, just want to scream or rant then post it and guaranteed someone will feel the same. Good luck in the future

First of all I'm so sorry that this has happened to you - you've probably heard that a million times by now but I understand your loss as I've also m/c recently.

I'm not sure that there is any 'normal' when it comes to what people experience in m/c as from what I can gather it's very personal and everyone seems to go through it differently.

What I can say is that my m/c at 13wks (baby passed at 8+4 but my body held on) was dreadful at the time but after the bleeding stopped (maybe a week or so), I was ok physically. I did have a difficult af the following month as my m/c didn't complete but as I say - everyone is different so this won't necessarily be the case for you.

All you can do really is use all the support available to you, chat on here as the girls are fantastic, speak to your loved ones and if you have any medical worries or questions - get back to the doctor or midwife. I found that once I made the appts and asked lots of questions - even if they didn't have answers - it still helped.

Thinking of you and if you need to chat pm me anytime.
