What does a miscarriage feel like?

I had a miscarriage exactly a month today it a terrible experience.

You bleed first some people only get spotting while others can pass blood clots, though. You can get very bad pains and a sharp pain up centre your stomach and pressure below the stomach. Other women have no pain, though.

I then went to my doctor were I was sent for a scan the following morning. The ultrasound showed a baby measuring at 10 weeks 4 days although I was 15 weeks into the pregnancy until the bleeding started 5 weeks after the child had died in utero(within the uterus).

I was then asked if I would like to wait and pass it through naturally or have a D&C, a procedure where the physician inserts an instrument through the cervix and scrapes the wall of the uterus and suctions out the contents (similar to the procedure used in abortion, but since the fetus has died this is NOT an abortion). A D&C will make sure nothing left behind that can cause infection.

I was scheduled for the D&C but sadly I didn't last; I woke up about 1 in morning with terrible pains along bottom of my back and across my stomach. I could not get comfortable,and after 2hours goin through the pain I felt like something had disconnected itself inside me ,and the pain had stopped. I then stood up to go to bathroom when all of sudden a gush of blood and blood clots came out.

That when I knew it had passed through from my body. I was then admitted to hospital emergency room and examined. Some people bleed from 7-10 days after having a miscarriage. If bleeding continues longer than 10 days, you should check with your physician.
