Miscarriage how long before things return to normal?

If your body doesn't expel it on it's own you will need a d&c. I had one in feb this year & it didn't hurt I only had mild cramping after the op on the day thats it.Your body will soon turn back to normal when the baby is gone.Your periods will return about a month after a d&c and regulate in a few months after that.Be careful though as you are thought to be more fertile after a d&c.

I miscarried three times, all in the first trimester. I had different amounts/lengths of bleeding and painful cramps. It takes at least a week or so to get over the physical pain and all spotting/bleeding.

Emotionally, a miscarriage is a loss to grieve. That part took me several months, especially when I had two miscarriages in a 6 months period. My husband and I were both sad/disappointed/angry for a while. The hardest part for me was that 2 weeks after the event everyone forgot about it and I was still sad and grieved.

One time my baby died at 10 weeks, the placenta, etc didn't come out for 3 weeks, my labor just didn't start. If it hadn't they would have had to induce it to come. If you leave it indefinetly you can all of a sudden begin to hemorrhage(sp.?) and it becomes a severe emergency. The doc. will suggest a d/c soon if the pregnancy doesn't come out on it's own. They can't let you go too long! Another thing, one time the baby didn't even develop, we were sure I was preg. because I'd had a blood test. This miscarriage was just about like a very tough period with heavy bleeding. Just be sure to take very good care of yourself, it will help you get well sooner.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, I wish I could comfort you. If you feel sad, find someone you trust and ask them to just let you talk. Many people don't know what to say to you when this happens. Some will kind of ignore you.Others sometimes say dumb stuff that hurts, "You'll have another one!" (like babies are as replaceable as light bulbs), "You're young, just try again". They mean well, but at first there are no good things to say, except, "I'm sorry for your loss".

I hope things get better soon. My sympathies

Having a D+C is not painful you are put to sleep for only a few minutes and you wake up quite quickly. You will have a small bleed after this for about a couple of days. Some people experience small cramps a bit like period pains, nothing to worry about. Your body usually gets back to normal very quickly and your periods should return the next month. Try and make sure you have this done as quick as you can, dont let it drag on. I speak from experience, dont worry have this small op and then wait about 3 months and try again, you will be o.k. I send love to you and hope that you will soon become a Mum xxxx

I'm sorry for your loss. I had 2 miscarriages, the first expelled but I did not want to experience this again so the next time I asked to have the pregnancy removed and it was not painful. I was emotionally deeply affected both times and couldn't just try for another baby the next month but I know it can happen that quickly. I had to wait a long time before considering trying for another baby but it did happen, I have a 3 year old beautiful boy and am 20 weeks with the next one.

Good luck and best wishes.

More than likely, this will not drag on for months, especially if you are already bleeding...Sometimes, it takes a bit of time for the process to happen..Here's what I did..I was eight weeks, the baby measured 7, and they said they for sure should have seen a heart beat..So, I waited a week and a half..During that period, I had no spotting, but did cramp on and off, until three days before. Then, it gradually, over the three days got heavy..Finally, one night, the cramping and bleeding started...It lasted for about three hours total of cramping (went through a small less painful labor, transition and all), bleeding and passing clots..Then I passed the placenta and baby still inside. So, keep an eye on things..It should start pretty soon..I am so sorry for your loss.

With my 3rd pregnancy My daughters heart beat stopped at 26 weeks. I was told I had three options. 1 go home and wait for the labor to begin on its own could be hours or weeks away. 2 go to the hospital now and be induced and deliver now or 3 Wait a week and if it doesn't start on its own then come in. I chose to be induced immediately. I bled 10 days after the delivery and my periods returned 4 weeks after. My 4th pregnancy was normal and I had a beautiful baby girl. I waited 6 months before trying again and got pregnant within 2-3 months. Good luck and I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a baby at any stage is hard. Best wishes

I have the same problem, i Had a miscarriage on March, then my periods when, to 28 30, 33, 39, and I had another miscarriage 3 weeks ago. I read something about 6 months , everybody is different.

Hey-

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I went through the same thing...and it's just so hard. (I had gone in at 6 and 8 weeks....things were looking wonderful...at my 12 week appointment there was no longer a heartbeat). This happened in June 29th...I decided to go ahead and have a D&C. Like you, I just didn't want this to go on. I didn't want to have to wonder when "it" was going to happen.

They did the D&C as an outpatient procedure. I was so scared...sad...you name it. All the nurses would ask..."why are you here today?" I hated that question...and had to explain that I had a missed miscarriage.

The staff at the hospital were so sensitive and nice though. They explained everything they were doing and made me feel as comfortable as I could. I was in the "waiting" room before surgery when my doctor came in. Then I was surrounded and they brought me to the surgury room.

They put me completely out...(which I would HIGHLY recommend) if you get a D&C. I would never have wanted to be awake for that. I just remember them telling me I was about to be put out and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. (very groggy...but no pain)

The procedure itself only took about 25-30 minutes. I was in recovery for about 30 minutes and then back in my outpatient room for about 20 minutes.

After words I felt a lot better emotionally. (It was still SOOOO hard...but did give a sense of closure.) They gave me a huge bottle of pain medicine which I only had to take once "just in case." I never felt any pain or cramping...although some people do feel slight cramping...but they'll give you pain medicine to help with that. I only had slight bleeding/spotting for the next few weeks off and on. It seemed like my bleeding went away but then it would come again. It finally stopped after about two weeks.

My D&C was July 3rd. Just last Tuesday, exactly three months after my D&C I received a positive pregnancy test. It's actually the first time I ovulated since my miscarriage. (I just got diagnosed with PCOS..so that's why it took me so long to ovulate.) A friend of mine had the same thing happened to her and her period returned after about four weeks. Her cycle returned to normal.

This is such a difficult time in your life...but be encouraged that it only took me three months to conceive again. This baby will never replace my first one and I'm scared to death about losing this one...but I'm just learning to trust that the Lord know's what He's doing and He's in control.

I'll say a prayer for you hon! The D&C might give you the closure you need, but seeing that you weren't very far along you may not need one and the miscarriage might happen rather quickly. Check with your doctor, but do whatever you are most comfortable with.

Blessings to you!

believe me, the d&c is nothing. The pain I experienced during my second miscarrige was similar to being in labour, my waters even broke and I wasnt very far along either. I thought it would be better to let it all go naturally but this wasnt the case and I ended up rushed into hospital with chronic bleeding, clots and all sorts I had to have a d&c in the end and all was so much better after that. The op itself I didnt even notice, they knock you out for it, no pain afterwards either. Took about 4 months before I was pregnant with our (now 2yr old) son, so my advice is get the d&c over with and let yourself have a little break for a while, it will happen for you. I know its hard but just keep your chin up..

there is a double rainbow soon to come as the sun will shine.

big hugggg to you Mam

its all about timing now-or you can have the hospital induce labor. A d&c isnt necessary unless there isnt total discharge.

your baby is already in heaven make sure your going there too and the bible says they that go before us stand on the banners of heaven and cheer for us=Hebrews 12

it may be hard after this experience yet you will be the most fertile after the baby is discharged from your body. if you wait a long time after the short time to heal of a few months, you may not be able to concieve that easily. Be the hero take it on the chin and go for it, prayerfully.

the question is if there is a reason-as in an incompetent cervex and did the baby become detached as in the plecenta

this is help from above in answer to another lady=deep breaths good music on, and the biggest hug to you and i dont release till you tell me your ok in Jesus

"The rain falls on the just and the unjust"

believing in God doesnt take away the curse of Adam and Eve from the perfect garden forsaken

Do not take it personal, dont search out your life and blame yourself or anyone else

A huricane hits and innocent people are hurt-it doesnt just blow away the sinners houses.

This was my answer to a lady with a detached Plecenta

it is good if you also answer her and others questions-if you need help-help another and your burdens will be lifted seeing others as just as important as we are too

so I answered her=if your still bleeding do not get out of bed, have a parent or other do your work for you, and get a small fridge right by your bed for easy access, plenty of juice and tea calming chamomile and ginger also for the stomach.

one way or the other Mam and I am praying for you, i have good news for you, a rainbow of hope-and do hand exersises in bed and when you read in the Psalms to praise the Lord -give the sacrifice of praise-meaning you may not feel like it-but as you do it will pour forth-David cried out to God to save his baby and take his life instead, and Psalm 51 deals with that situation and the restoration of his Joy that he might lead sinners in the way to God.

first John chapters 3&10 and Revelation 3:19&20 if you never asked Jesus into your heart to forgive -even one lie, and become your personal best friend, amen

relax praying for you

ok, first your baby will live, the question is on earth or in heaven awaiting the melenium to return and at the end to chose either Jesus or to reject him

so it will be a loss and gain and if loss then you have more opportunities to try again-a placenta is made new each time so it doesnt mean you have a bad cervex or anything-with one of those hemoraging is normal and staying off the feet each pregnance when the sign of bleeding comes.

as you do stay off your feet, use a pillow between your legs, and one under your feet to keep them elevated and a smaller one under your calves to keep the pressure off, legs spread some helps.

make sure your taking all your pre natal vitamins

I do not like to give upsetting news-I will tell you of another life situtation of a lady that does have a bad cervex from using a diaphram-she has 3 children but she also had one miscarrige and 1 in 4 pregancies end in that. She bled with pregnance, had to stay off her feet, she had one still born, and one passed after premature birth at around 2 lbs.

the chances are every day your baby lives is a miracle,

your next pregnancy will go totally fine

for now read your bible-its going to take effort, read the Song of Songs-if you must read the book of Job but read the last chapter first -verse 10 to forgive all those in your life that have let you down, and you will be freed from bondage and get a double portion of all you have lost.

and if you feel the doctor isnt being help full, get a different doctor

praying for you Mam, and keep looking up even in the storm, there is a double rainbow soon to come as the sun will shine.
