After Miscarriage Pain...Advice PLEASE

[stellkas]

Okay I miscarried on Saturday by taking those pills (Misprostol sp?).  The pregnancy passed, which was obvious, but I didn't have much bleeding (a few clots, but nothing like I thought).  I felt a lot better physically, which turned out to be short lived.  I started cramping yesterday around 4:30 pm like early labor or really bad menstral cramps.  I started bleeding heavier today about like a heavy period (small clots here and there).  Such bad cramping woke me up last night.  What do you guys think?  I am not filling a pad an hour or even every 2 hours, but it just this cramping. AHHH....What is your opinion?  I am waiting for my doctor to call.  Is this normal????

I started m/c at midnight on a Friday night and by 1:00 p.m. on Saturday I could not take the pain any longer.  I don't want to scare you that was just my experience.  I know that some people when m/c only have mild cramping that advil will take care of.  Bless your heart.  I so feel for you.

Okay....How long did your pain last afterwards?  this is awful

I m/c without taking the Misprostol.  The pain that i felt was extremly terrible.  I think the pain is probably normal and as long as you are not filling your pad every hour or two you should be fine.  However ask your doctor for a prescription for the pain.  A m/c is horrible enough without having to deal with such terrible pain.  If you can't get a hold of your doctor then got to the ER and let them know what is happening.  My m/c happened on the weekend and my doctor suggested the ER they gave me a shot.  It helped me so much.  I will keep you in my prayers.
