What does having a miscarriage feel/like?

Question

I don't want to gross anyone out, but realistically, what does some of the symptoms include and what am I looking for when I go to the bathroom? I have heard different stories. I keep hearing to look for "gray" substance like stuff? I'm just bleeding with cramps that feel like menstrual cramping.

Answer 1

When I had a miscarriage I didn't even notice when I lost the baby but it must of been when I was using the bathroom though because when I went to the hospital they said it was gone. It was weird though because I always looked in the toilet to make sure nothing came out and never saw anything. I think it was too heavy & fell down to where I couldn't see it. I'm kind of glad I didn't see it though because that would have hurt me worse. It's a different experience for everyone though. I don't know what it would look like but I'm just telling you don't be surprised if you don't see nothing at all. Sorry about your loss. I know how hard it can be.

Answer 2

when i had mine i just started having really bad cramps that made me not want to move and then i started bleeding more than you should when you pregnant. if u just spoting that could be normal. but if its more than that get it checked out  

Answer 3

What is termed a miscarriage can happen up to the sixth month of pregnancy.  Consider a form of birth control in the future.  If you have been trying to become pregnant call your Ob/Gyn office for help.

Answer 4

Well, I was 3 months pregnant when I had mine. It started with cramps, then spotting and eventually to a very HEAVY flow. The cramping is a little worse than normal, so is the bleeding. It should be noticeable.
