My mood while writing this blog: im ok... |
Hello Ladies,
I just wanted to give you all an update-- incase anyone was wondering and i havent gotten back to you. This afternoon i started having horrible cramps-- and then passed some very large clots. infact.. the clots are still coming. this happened around 2pm.. its not 730. i was bleeding so much, and so heavy that i called the dr to make sure i wasnt losing too much blood... i didnt know-- i couldnt find anything online where it told me how much to expect.. ive never been thru anything like this before- so i just wanted to make sure.. wouldnt you know... they NEVER called me back! i explained everything to the nurse, she said she would double check with the dr... and call me back. almost 2 hours later... ( i called and called and called and all i got was the music "waiting" thing...) i finally reached the receptionist at around 4.. and she got the same nurse i had talked to before.. she tells me " oh sorry.. we're really busy" ... wow thanks! she tells me if its really bad, like i think im hemorraging to go to the hospital.. or wait until my appt tomorrow morning at 1130..
my bleeding and clotting has slowed down a lot. i no longer have to run to the bathroom everytime i get up- like i was this afternoon. ive never seen anything that big come out of me before.... one of them was almost as big as my hand. i told them that on the phone and they didnt seem to act worried.. or shocked.. is this normal?! has that happened to anyone else? i was suppose to be 10 weeks pregnant, but they said the baby only measured 5.5 weeks... oh well.. i dont know..
how long does this usually last? the bleeding and clotting and stabbing pains? at one point i felt like i was going into labor...
anyways.... get back to me if you want =o)
take care... and hopefully talk to you soon
Amber

Tuesday, 10 Mar I am so sorry hun.....will keep you in my prayers..... SunnyMom -
Tuesday, 10 Mar Hi Amber...I am so sorry honey...can't believe how awful your doctor's office is. It does all sound like a normal miscarriage and that your body is doing it naturally. I had one D&C with my first miscarriage and ended up in hosp for 3 days and chose to go natural after that. The recovery from the D&C was MUCH worse, I bled and had pains for WEEKS.
Yes, you lose lots of blood in big clumps like you are describing and it hurts like hell....like someone is sticking a knife through the core of your body...that's the uterine cramps. Please drink lots of fluids and rest a lot,,and let yourself gieve as much as you need to. The process can take days or weeks to complete. Don't stop wearing pads prematurely because I have stopped bleeding for a day or so and then more came.
Please look for a new OB office for when you are ready to try again :-) Sending love and prayers your way...sunny Shellie77 -
Tuesday, 10 Mar Im so sorry. Mine lasted about 10 hours. I bled a little for a few days after. And yeah, it does feel like labor pains near the end and once all the big stuff passes, at least for me, the pain immediately stopped. I was sore for a few days after as well. My Dr also told me that a miscarriage is like having a period..you can get pregnant again right away. I got pregnant the second month after my miscarriage, I didn't even have another period between. Good luck sweetie. minkymoo78 -
Tuesday, 10 Mar First of all let me say how sorry I am that you have had to go through this. Secondly, I had my first miscarriage at 10 weeks and I also felt like I was in labour, it was absolutely agony and I too bled a lot and passed a very large clot that I guess was the baby. It is quite normal but it's still so heartbreaking and painful. I really hope you begin to feel a bit better soon and the bleeding stops. I am thinking of you xxx blee71377 -
Tuesday, 10 Mar My heart is breaking for you. I went through the same thing at the beginning of February, but I had a D&E. It's just tragic! It's ok to cry and greive, but don't forget all the blessings in your life. That will help you to heal. Anytime you feel like crying you do it! No one knows how hard this hurts except for other women that have been through it. I am so sorry! If you need to talk I'm here for you. Remember you are not alone. You and your family are in my prayers. =) Keep us updated on your progress. susie39 -
Tuesday, 10 Mar Oh hun, I am so sorry, I cant add any more to what all these lovely ladies have already said, just that our thoughts are with you. I like the idea of getting the duvet, sitting in front of a sad movie and having a good ole cry, will do you the world of good. Hope you're ok. Big hugs from us all x sindi-and-justin -
Tuesday, 10 Mar Hi Amber... I am so sorry. I wouldn't wish this upon anyone ... geeeeez man, doctors rooms are pathetic!!! I went through this twice.. I lost both my previous babies at 7/8 weeks and yes, what happens is your uterus contracts to allow the "embryo and placenta" to pass... I literally gave birth to mine... on the toilet... it was also the size of my hand and look like a sack of tissue all clumped together... This is normally called a Natural Miscarriage where you should not need a D&C... Your doc should give you an ultrasound to check whether evertything passed, if so you should be fine and the pain should end within 3 days... you will have a period now as well... and will bleed for up to 7 days... I hope you dont need to get that procedure done. I am sorry again for this... I dont know why we have to suffer like this... but the best thing is knowing there was a problem with baby that is why this happened and you don't want problems... you want a healthy baby... just relax and let your body heal... the waiting period is normally 3 months before ttc again... i will pray for you as well... keep well and be positive... sleepymomma -

Monday, 9 Mar I'm so sorry for your loss. No woman should ever have to lose a child. sls shannon -
Monday, 9 Mar aww! oh no!! i feel your pain, a im still going through this myself.. and im still bleeding, since feb 24, but didnt pass baby til 5mar.. so it could last awhile or not for you.. i am truly so sorry for your loss!!! ooohugsooo mugs -
Monday, 9 Mar I just read your blog and I am so sorry. I just went through a miscarriage at 11 weeks ;ast week. I started cramping and spotting and at teh ultrasound the next day there was no heartbeat adn the baby only measured 8 weeks and some days. I stoped cramping and spotting and therefore opted for a D&C last Thursday. My bleeding has been a minimum and absolutely no cramps. I would be worried in your situation too...I'm sure it's just passing naturally (which I give you so much credit for doing) and that everything is okay but make sure to get in just to check. My heart breaks for you right now...hang in there and if you need to talk, please write me...I so understand what you're going through. My best to you and your family. rorylex2008 -
Monday, 9 Mar Im so sorry for ur loss. I hope ur taking things easy for a few days, my advice is to get a sad dvd out and some chocolate or a cup a soup what ever takes ur fancy and use to movie as an excuse to have a good cry. I found that has always helped me shesAWKWARD -
Monday, 9 Mar I had a D & C.. but my first period was THAT BAD lol. and very painful. i lost so much my lips were numb.. i called the ER and they were like your fine! i was going threw a pad ever 20 to 25 mins.. and they said if it was every 15 mins then go to the ER i am like "wow.." that 5 mins makes THAT much of a DIFFRENCE?? goshhh... i couldnt even gather myself up to go to the hospital.. i am glad it turned out ok after 2 DAYS OF THAT!!! but that was unseally long. but i am glad i turned out ok.
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!! i do feel your pain.. i lost my child in my 8th week. and the day i found out was the same day the baby died and my husband left for Iraq. so it felt like i lost my entire family in a day. BUT it does get easier!! there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
If you ever need to talk i am here!! orone -
Monday, 9 Mar Amber, I'm so sorry, I know that bleeding is different for everyone. Both of my losses were quite different. My most recent loss I passed a lot of blood and tissue in one day...than I had some mild bleeding and cramping for about another week. The bigger clot you passed may have been the placenta if it was already the size of your hand. Your doctor will do an exam tomorrow and maybe even an ultrasound to see if you have anything still left inside. My first loss I was immediately taken in from my ultrasound where they found no heartbeat to have a D and C...I had no time to really think about it or even understand what was happening. To make a long story very short, this drug out for 2 months and 2 additional surgeries because they didn't get everything out and I had a flaming infection. You sound like you are naturally having a complete miscarriage which is the only piece of this whole mess that is good...your body will heal faster and you will be able to start trying again very soon. I know every doctor has their own opinions about how long to wait...but we were told with our last loss that we could try the very next cycle which was about a month later...so technically I ovulated within 2 weeks of the loss. I hope this helps some. I know the heartache you are experiencing and my heart is breaking for you. I wish you a fast recovery and return to this site! ren -
Monday, 9 Mar i am truely sorry. I had 2 m/c's and the bleeding is horrible. It is normal to have large clots and lots of blood. I bled for 6 weeks the first time. I was 11.5 weeks. (I think I had my period at the end). I never had a D&C after, I wanted to pass everything naturally. I agree with melababy, if you feel faint please see a doctor. Try to drink lots of fluids and take some advil.
Try to get some rest ! I am really sorry you have to go this this. I am thinking of you and your husband.

Monday, 9 Mar Im so sorry girl, I have has 2, the cramps and the bleeding was horrible, and you are right no one tells you nothing. It should be like a really heavy, painful period. If you start feeling light headed or dizzy then I would recommend going to the hospital. Take some advil, or stronger if you have. God has a reason for everything, I try to tell myself.
I had a miscarriage in November and got pregnant again in January. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Try to get some rest and take care, thinking of you ParkerNHarpersMom -
Monday, 9 Mar Hey!
I think how long the bleeding lasts differs for everyone....I've been through this twice, my first m/c was FAST...i bled a tiny bit, then passed the entire baby and alot of blood...and that was it...took only a few days...and the last one I had in November...took 2 weeks to finally pass the entire baby and the bigger clots...after that i bled for a few days.
The stabbing pains will last until your cervix is done dialating and pushing out all the big stuff....
I'm really sorry to hear this has happened to you. There isn't anything anyone can say that will make you feel any better....as I know this from experience. I hope you heal fast! buffyhaving twins -
Monday, 9 Mar OMG! I am so sorry. I know exactly how you feel, that just happened to me this summer. I was supposed to be 11 weeks and baby was only measuring 6, and I started bleeding. Eventually I passed huge clots and all that. You need to have an ultrasound to make sure the placenta is out, otherwise you will bleed forever. Once the placenta passed, I bled about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks and it stopped. Then I got my period again a few weeks later. I had no cramping until they gave me the meds to enduce labor and then it was horrible. I hope things get better and that this will all be over quickly. kirra82 -
