Urgent question....

[Jessa]

I'm currently in the midst of miscarrying. We discovered yesterday at my 16 week scan that the baby had no heartbeat and it had died approximately 3 weeks earlier. So, the doctor inserted tablets into my vagina early this afternoon to tell my body that it's time to let go.

Here's my question: I started bleeding quite heavily and cramping at about 9 o'clock tonight. It's now almost 3 am. How long does this heavy bleeding last? At what point should I go into the hospital?

Hi Jessa,

Didn't want to read and run, I've never had the tablets with my MC's.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

Hun, I'm so sorry, sending you hugs.

I m/c at 17wks naturally, I bled quite a bit, lost baby and then bled a lot more until the Placenta was removed by D&C. It is scary the amount of blood you can lose and I think it can feel worse than it is, the A&E nurse said to me that I hadn't lost a lot and a little bit seems to go a long way.

From reading other posts I think if you are soaking several pads in the space of half hour then you need to go in.

Personally I think if you feel like it's too much and it's worrying you then then best place to be is in hospital, don't worry what they think right now you have to look after you.

Be strong Hun xx You are in my thoughts

Sorry I can't really talk from experience as I had ERPC. But I think it's safe to say, if you are bleeding alot and or in alot of pain, you are probably best to go to A&E. They can look over you then and administer proper pain killers.
Take care

Hi, sorry you are also having to go thro this. And i hope this helps put your mind at some ease regards your symptoms, albeit, a little TMI!

I had the pessaries at midnight, i started getting cramping and twinges and by 2am i could feel what i can only describe as 'pressure' and thats when i started to bleed heavily, and it was heavy and i had very painful and strong cramps and passed the bean. Around 5am, it just flooded out of me and i just made it to the bathroom just in time! This heavy bleeding went on till about 7am, with all sorts of lumpy bits, then it died down. I have been bleeding lightly since and my insides have been very tender, lets say. I must have lost a lot as i was white as a sheet for the next 2-3 days and felt like id done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson and am only just starting to feel normal again.

It can be heavy, painful and damn scary. If you are at all concerned or frightened, please call a healthcare professional for advise or go to ER/A&E.

I hope the physical side of things soon ends so you can begin to heal emotionally.

When i was 11 weeks pregnant i started to bleed loosing huge amounts of blood, and massive clots. I went to A&E and they told me i'd more than likely miscarried. Fortunatley, i didn't miscarry but the bleeding continued. I went for numerous scans and they confirmed i had a haematoma on my placenta. At 16 weeks pregnant i was still bleeding but because i'd only had a scan a week before (both babies were fine) i didn't really worry too much. We went for our private gender scan only to be told both of our babies had died a few days earlier. On the saturday night i got the first tablet orally, then was told to go back to the hospital on the monday where i would be given the pessarie. I got cramps almost immediatley and the bleeding gradually got heavier as did the cramps. Eventually at 2:55 my waters broke, then i had to push both babies out born at 15:09 and 15:12. Since then my bleeding is gradually getting a little lighter. I just want to say i am so sorry for your loss. It's the most horrendous thing i think anyone can ever go through aswell as painful emotionally. Since finding out on saturday that my babies had died, all i've done is cry. I just want to say that because i know what your going through, if you need anyone to talk to, i'm here for you!...I know no matter what anyone says/does it's not going to make anything any better in the slightest. I've found it does help in a way when you have someone to talk to who kind of understands what your going through. My thoughts are with you and your DH at this sad time! xxx

I just inserted the pills on Thursday night (10pm) .. I bled really heavy until Friday afternoon. I was in a lot of pain.. and had to take codeine pills. Saturday, Sunday and even Monday I was fine.. but Monday night.. the bleeding started again.. and I actually started passing the tissue.

My dr. told me to go in if I was soaking a pad every thirty minutes.. some tell you every hour.. but mine said 30 minutes. I was also in a load of pain. I did not go in to the ER though.. but wish I would have. If it gets to the point where you can not stand the pain.. just go to the ER.. better safe than sorry. I would never go through that much pain again.. my body is def. paying me back for that..

I'm so very sorry for your loss! I had a mc at 17 weeks, but had a D&C. I see you've gotten some very good advice and wanted to wish you good luck and support during this difficult time.

i'm sorry you're going through this. my doctor used to tell me that during a mc, if you're soaking more than one pad per hour you should go to the hospital. I hope things are better for you now... hugs!
