from an RN" the difference between spotting which can be caused by vigorous sex and does not result in loss of the fetus and a misscarriage when the blood is heavy more than two pads and results in complete or partial loss of the fetus. spotting stops on it's own and is less than a pad's worth. rest usually resolves spotting. A miscarriage can be very dangerous because the blood loss can be very significant and large. If you are losing more than a pads worth go to your nearest emergency room and let them help you. They can't stop the miscarriage but they will give you intravenous fluid and ensure you don't bleed too much. good luck. Joymaker
