Miscarriage? what to expect?

Question

My wife has a brown discharge and some off and on mild bleeding. The doctor told her that the baby didnt have a heartbeat and wasnt growning. She told them that she would wait for the baby to expel itself and she thinks it might happen without getting a D&C but isnt sure. Her body is sore like she has been working out. But she isnt cramping. Has anyone went throw this? Do you know if she is about to expel the baby? Will she know when the baby comes out? She says she dont think she is having any blood clots and if she is they are very small. She also has alot of tissue coming out. What should she expect?

Answer 1

Im going through this same thing. The doctors said i was having a missed miscarriage and that it might or might not expel on its own. I have a appointment thursday and ill find out if i need a d&c them. I hope not but if i need it i will do it.  

Answer 2

It feels like period cramps at first and then gets worse. It's not like labor but it's more than period cramps. If I were you I'd wait a little while for the baby to expel. She could get a damaged uterus from the D&C. I waited a couple of days from the time I went to the doctor & it happened on it's own.

I'm really sorry that you have to go though this. It's really hard but don't let it scare you from your next pregnancy. If you want to try again, wait a few cycles. My OB, my mom's OB & my aunt whose a nurse all told me to wait at least 2 periods before trying again. I did & now I have a beautiful & amazing 2 year old.

Good luck & God bless!!!
