Im approx 4 weeks pregnant and have period type bleeding and cramping but not as bad could this be sign of miscarriage?

i miscarried at 14 weeks then again at 5 weeks my second miscarriage ended just the same way your symptoms are at the moment. the only way to be sure is to go to your g.p have them take a blood test then again 2 days later to see if your hcg levels are dropping. i am very sorry if you have miscarried it is a very hard and difficult thing to over come the pain will get easier with time

Am I having a miscarriage if I found Brown tinge blood when I wiped being 9 weeks pregnant?

it does not always mean miscarriage as some women have a bleed during pregnancy but it could also indicate a missed miscarriage which is where the baby has died for what ever reason and you haven't lost it i would suggest that you go to your g.p's and ask for an urgent scan to check if the baby has a heart beat. i had a missed miscarriage at 14 weeks pregnant my body still thought i was pregnant but the baby had died at 9 weeks and 2 days. hope this helps

5 weeks pregnant and cramping?

Cramping during pregnancy, unfortunately, can mean multiple things; some are okay and some are not so good. It can be gas, constipation, your uterus growing; signs of an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and the list can go on and on. If the cramping continues and it concerns you too much you should contact your doctor.

Had a miscarriage now having positive test 5 weeks later?

The pregnancy hormone stays in your body for awhile unless you have had unprotected sex??????????/

You were told you had a miscarriage and now your tummy is swollen and you feel movement?

Mention this to your doctor and try to get a second opinion. It may have looked like a miscarriage, but there may still be hope. I've heard about a woman who apparently miscarried and later found out that her baby was still growing inside her because the bloodflow from the "miscarriage" was too weak to rid her body of the baby. But at the same time, don't get too worked up about it, as it could be only gas.

Will the body absorb the miscarriage or expel?

I'm at not sure about this! But in most cases the body will expel naturally or they may have to vaccum the contents out (this is similar to what is used in an abortion).

Can you have a miscarriage with out bleeding?

How long can a woman carry a dead fetus?

seek medical care & God bless you.

In the beginning of May, my doctor informed me that I was losing the baby (miscarriage). At that time I was 13 weeks and it was my first pregnancy (I'm 37 years old). I have no idea what to expect or what the passing of the fetus is supposed to look like. For 2 weeks, I was bleeding (kinda like a period) and then saw a tissue like (about 2 inches) covered with blood passing when I went to urinate. I thought that was the fetus passing. For the next 2 months, I continued having blood spots - not heavy enough for a pad but I did wear panty liners throughout. I never had any other pain so I thought the miscarriage was over.

On July 21, I went on short weekend (4 days) trip with friends. During the trip, we did sights and tours so we walked all over the places. I never felt any pain in my abdominal area. On August 2, I had a bad stomachache and thought it was from what I ate (I ate a lot that evening) - so I used the bathroom and went to bed. As soon as I laid down, the pain continued. I thought I had to urinate so I kept getting up and use the bathroom. After repeated bathroom visit and each time, there were more blood and thicker blood with tissues present. I thought it was due to the residue of a miscarriage that supposedly happened in May. As the minutes went by, I felt the most awful pain and thought it was an appendicitis (since my family has a history of it). I was sitting on the toilet for 2 hours straight (the first pain started at midnight), passing blood tissues and blood - I was in such pain that I couldn't even reached the phone to call the ambulance (the phone was upstairs and I live alone) or move. In between the pain, I finally walked next door (about 20 ft away) to my neighbor's suite and asked her to take me to the emergency - I thought I was bleeding to death. While my neighbor went to get dress briefly, I walked back to my toilet with the strongest pain and immediately a flow of water with blood came rushing out- apparently my water broke. Then immediately a sack come out - which was the fetus. It was about 3-4 inches long. When I saw it, I knew that was the actually miscarriage. I didn't want to get traumatized so I flush the toilet. My neighbor took me to the ER and it was confirmed that I had a miscarriage with the passing of the fetus. ER did the ultrasound to check if everything came out naturally.

The following day when I went to see my OB, she said that she suspected the fetus must have stopped growing/died in May and came out naturally over 2 months later. She thinks all the walk I had during my trip in July contributed to the fetus passing naturally. And of course, had they knew that it wasn't a fetus that passed at the end of May like I thought it had, they would have done the D&C immediately.

I should have gone back to do the ultrasound in May when I thought it passed. My OB did say I was very fortunate not to have an infection for carrying a dead fetus this long. I was on bed rest for the remaining of the week and still continues to bleed out the residue.

I've searched the internet to see how long was the longer someone had experienced a dead fetus inside before passing. My must have been one of the longest just because I never knew that it never passed.

It is a devastating experience, but I know things happen for a reason. I just hope and pray my next pregnancy will be complete and healthy. My advice is if you think you had a passing, please be sure to get an ultrasound afterward to be sure what passed was the fetus.

Do you still look pregnant after a miscarriage?

In my experience with my fifth miscarriage I still looked pregnant. I guess other's experiences maybe different.

What is the color of blood after a miscarriage?

* The most common and clear symptom of a miscarriage is vaginal bleeding associated with or without pain. The blood color can range from brown to bright red and could be accompanied by cramps. Bleeding could be in the form of mild spotting, persistent bleeding, heavy bleeding and passage of large clots.

Does your pregnancy symptom immediately stop after having a miscarriage?

No, but, it would be called an "Ectopic pregnancy". It is usually diagnosed within the first 2 months of pregnancy, possibly before you know you are pregnant. The symptoms may be mild or they may be severe and dangerous. They can be the same as the symptoms of early pregnancy or other less serious conditions. Possible symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are: 1. missed period or abnormal bleeding 2. pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis 3. symptoms of pregnancy such as breast tenderness or morning sickness.

How can you fake your miscarriage?

Well, if you're faking a pregnancy, you should still be getting your period. If you're still early in your 'pregnancy' (say 1-3 months, where the 'child' would still be about the size of a large blood clot on your period), you can 'miscarry' and feign that an overly large blood clot is the 'baby.'

Does it hurt having a miscarriage?

No, it does not always hurt. It depends on the person, and also how far gone you are.

I had a miscarraige over a month ago, and i did not have any pain, and just experienced a light period for about 5 days.

My friend has a miscarriage last year, and had unbareable pain, and bled really heavy for an hour or so.

Like i said it depends on the person and how far gone you are.

You took pregnancy test at start Oct it said you were positive an 5weeks you then had heavy bleedin an clots there 3weeks ago took pregnancy test 2day but its sayin you are pregnant can you b pregnant?

go to the doctors, you could be pregnant and have placenta previa (dont know if this would cause the bleeding though) but you need to go to a doctor and get checked out anyway
