what does miscarriage look/feel like?

[babyplz]

I'm totally new at this and 4+ weeks pregnant, but I started feeling awful yesterday and then had a little brown spotting last night, but now this morning when I wiped, it was really red, like fresh blood.  Am I miscarrying?  Help!  I have know idea what it's like, this is my first pregnancy.  I'm so scared.

I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks to determine how far along I was (we had no clue because I have not had periods since I went off birth control), but the heartbeat was slow. They had me come in a week later for another ultrasound only to not find a heartneat this time. I had a missed miscarriage. That was six weeks ago. I started spotting a week ago, and this week the bright red blood started with some smaller clots. My body is slow trying to expel the fetus, but is taking forever. We finally set up an appointment to have a D&C done in two weeks.

If you are not sure what is going on, the best thing to do is contact your doctor. They can monitor the situation and tell you what's best, since everyone experiences something different. I wish everyone the best and would never wish this on anyone.

Hi,just wanted to share my experience.i have got 2 children,we were trying for a third one,didnt take us long,i had light spotting when i was 7 weeks,then it stopped,i rang the hospital though  and they said i shouldnt worry if i dont have any pains, but i still had to have an early scan as it was coming on and off,so i had a scan when i was 11weeks and 3 days,they couldnt see any heartbeat,i had a missed miscarriage,baby stopped growing at 8 weeks and 6 days,i can still cry my eyes out.this was in feb 2010.now its July,recently found out im pregnant again,im supposed to be 5 weeks,but yesterday i had brown discharge,then it turned more red,today it feels like a normal period,but no cramps,no clots of blood.My other 2 pregnancies were absolutely fine,no complications,have got 2 healthy children,it is a big shock ,dont really know what to expect,been to doctors,they said couldnt really do any tests or anything,scan wont show anything at this stage as it is early days,i have to wait till 30 july. Hopefuly it is just a period during pregnancy,really dont want to have a second miscarriage.can anyone advise me anything please?

You are more likely to be pregnant,my advice is to wait a bit longer and retest,good luck!!

I have taken two pregnancy test in the last three days and they both were negative. On june 27 I had some very light spotting but nothing else after that day. A few days before that I saw a very tiny blood clot or something in the toilet. I dont know if I could have been a m/c or implantation bleeding. I havent had any other signs of a m/c. My period is late and i dont know if I could be pregnant. Should I just wait for a week or so and retest? Can someone please give me some advice???

Last wk June 2,2010. I found out I was 4 wks pregnant. Then about 5 days later I started spotting a brown discharge. And the next day it turned pink. It was only when I whiped. I thought it was just normal like implantation bleeding. But a day later after the pink spotting it turned bright red so I want to the er and they did blood work and said my levels went down and I was neg and was not preg. So they said I had an early miscariage. After I got back from the er that's when I really started to bleed. It kind of seemed like I was on my period or whatever but it was like a gooy blood with about quater size clots every now and then. So, if anyone happnes to exprience these signs during the first few weeks of being preg it's most likly a miscariage. I was so shocked it happned to me. I did not see it coming what so ever. Losing your baby is the hardest thing to ever have to go through. Even if it is 4-5 wks along. IT *****.
