First miscarriage

[Schrlo00]

My miscarriage started at 11weeks, but the baby failed to progress at 6 weeks. Is it normal for your body to wait so long until it expels?  It was the most painful thing that I have ever lived thru to date. Was in the er over night. Cramping ended the following morning and I went home, but now I have been bleeding for 3 days. Is this normal

Thanks for the information. It turned out that I was very lucky and everything finished quite quickly. I only bled for two more days following my post, and when I went back, the doctor told me that my cervix was fully closed. My husband and I are going to wait a few cycles and then try again. I am very blessed that I have two healthy daughters, but I was really loving the thought of another little one.

my third pregnancy ended in another miscarriage, ( as did my second).  The baby had stopped living at 6 weeks but I didn't know until my ultra sound at 8.5 weeks but I didn't find out that day I found out the next day.  I choose to miscarry naturally again so it took another full week and a half.  After I miscarried which was very painful and alot of clots and blood I did bleed very heavy for 4 days then my blood turned like bright orange.  I asked the doctors they said it was normal and not to worry.

When I was told my twins' hearts had stopped, they were 9w1d along.  I didn't lose them for a good four weeks after that.  I did bleed for a few days after passing them, but if you are bleeding a lot or heavily, go see your doctor and get checked for retained products of conception.  It can happen especially when the baby is held a long time before passing.
