Its started :(

[mamaof6]

I just knew my miscarriage was going tostart today. my b/f and i took the motorcycle out yesterday just to get out of the house. when we got home i went to the bathroom and had what looked to be VERY faint pink. i showed my b/f (he couldnt see anything) and told him i'd be starting my m/c either last night or today. i woke up in the middle of the night an dhad a lil cramping an dhad to pee. i was soo scared i wouldnt get out of the bed :(  so i got up this morning and went to the bathroom, and sure enough, it had started. :*(      i hope its not as long as last time. my 7 yr old is going to be w/ me for 2 weeks before going to Disneyland,a dn i hope i dont have to spend it in bed. id like to be able to do things w/ him. i have to go to my other sons school today to pick up his stuff. do you think that would hurt me, or should i see if i could get someone else to get it? will it make me bleed more?  thanks alot for any input!

[mamaof6]

thank you!  nooo im def. not having sex right now!  last thing on my mind. lol  ive been going through crampy, to not crampy for most of the day. not much bleeding yet. im kinda glad its happening (starting) over the weekend, as my b/f will be here w/ me.  i dont have any naproxen, but my b/f's mom does, so if it gets bad ill call her. thx again. im sorry for your losses also :(

make sure ur not having sex suring that time, or use a condom with ur b/f its easy to get an infection, and can be damaging to ur uterus in the future.
So sorry you are going through this,i have been through 2 m/c myself, it was aweful,,,and im still trying to get over it!

just do what you would normally do, if the pain /cramps persist , tell ur doctor about it, i know i had bad cramps so i took naproxen..which helped alot !

good luck and stay strong!!

Sorry to hear this i have experienced two miscarriages and i tried to make myself busy by working and pottering round the house to try and take my mind of it a bit. You also need some you time aswell so you have time to grieve and take it what has happened as i found that keeping myself busy each day was good but i also needed to sit down and take in what was really happening and i had a cry to help me deal with the situation.

Thank you ladies. I think that is what I'll do. Right now, I am so emotional. Ive been listening to Casting Crowns " I Will Praise You In This Storm". Wonderful Song!!

I'm really sorry that you are having to go through this.  I know it's not easy.  During my last miscarriage I worked while it was happening.  It actually really started during my lunch break. I cramped a lot and bled alot but was still able to function at my job.  I don't think going out and about with your son is going to make it worse.  Go out and enjoy the children you have...  it may help to take your mind off of what is happening.

In my experience moving helps.  I had on and off bleeding for weeks, and the day I went for a good long walk is the day I finally passed all of the remaining tissue.  I started to feel better after that.
I'm sorry for your loss, and hope you will get through this quickly!

[mamaof6]

Thank you very much for that info. I was wondering about that. I guess i can do my housework then :0  fun fun!  Im just hoping its fast and uncomplicated. i tend to focus onthe horror stories of m/c :(  they get stuck in my head, go figure. well thax again . i really appreciate it :)

When I was going to miscarry I asked what I can and cannot do and my doctor said I could do whatever I wanted. I work in a job where I often am lifting/ restraining children and asked if that was safe to lift such a large weight (100 lbs +) and my Dr said it was fine. To treat it like I was having a period. Just stay away from swimming pools/hots tubs, and try and shower and not bath to help prevent infection.

I hope this helps a little. I am pretty sure that if you are going to hemorage, you are going to hemorage. There isn't really a whole lot you can do to prevent it (as far as I know)

I am sorry for your loss.

Another question. ill post it here,a nd see if i get any responses. if not, ill repost it separately.  is it safe to be up adn doing things, or should i be resting? i want to make sure everything comes out, but i dont want to start hemmoraging either :/  hmm.. i dunno. any suggestions?  thx :)

[Hales20]

im sorry you have to go through this. I personally havent been through it but my best friend has & it is horrible. Keep your chin up xx

[mamaof6]

Thank you. my fear is doing too much and starting to hemmorage, but i also do want to pass everyhting cuz i am petrified of d&c :/     my last 2 i had at home but he last one was longer and drawn out. but i did eventually pass everything. thank goodness. i guess ill just take it day by day and see what happens. im going to put this in the Lords hands b/c im going to drive myself crazy worrying about it. well, thanks alot. i appreciate the thoughts :)  have a good weekend.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I never had a m/c at home so I can't help you with that. But, I do know that during my period whenever i lay down the flow stops, so if it were me going through it i'd want to keep up and around making sure that I pass everything.
You're in my thoughts today
