Miscarriage question-What should I do?
I a currently experiencing my 6th miscarraige and had a question. I was curious when i should go to the hospital. I have passed tissue, but am bleeding heavier then I was before i passed it, should i get a D&C? Should I worry? I am concerned about the clotting and am looking for advice. Most of my miscarriages were at home, and I have only needed a D&C once, after my first one, but I stopped bleeding each time after passing tissue, I am wondering why I am still bleeding. Is this normal? Or should I be concerned?
If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks
Answers:
If you are soaking a pad in less than an hour, then you need to seek attention at the hospital, or if you are bleeding and not experiencing cramps. The cervix dialates during a misscarriage, and the uterus should cramp with contractions that will separate the placenta completely. If it isn't happening, you can bleed quite seriously and be in bad shape from the blood loss. If you have passed tissue and are still bleeding heavily, I'd highly encourage you to go to the hospital. You may need a D&C, or they may be able to close things down with injections. I'm sorry to hear you have miscarried again. And yes, it sounds like you'll need some help this time.
