I may have possibly gotten pregnant only a week ago and my normal period starts around the 15th of the month (usually never this early)... I woke up today with worse than normal cramps, tons of blood... Sheets, shorts, etc... To the point where I just threw all the items away. Then I went to the bathroom and more and more blood came out. Just a lot more than normal. - have never had a miscarriage so have no idea what to expect. - have a healthy 15 month old. Should I wait to call the doctor to see if the bleeding lasts as long as my period normally does. 9an a miscarriage last that long? Thanks:)
I think everyone's experience is different, but I didn't bleed that heavily on any early miscarriages. However, I had heavy, painful periods (I think today it would be called PMDD). If one was pretty late, as I was usually regular, I would get heavier bleeding, as if it was deleting a buildup. Bottom line: if you are doing a pad every two hours or less and/OR are having abnormal pain, it's worth a Dr. visit if only to be sure all is ok.
No do not wait ,, go to the doctor,, IF it is a miscarriage ,, the doctor should do an ultrasound to make sure everything was expelled. Because if it is not, there is a chance for infection. Which can be very painful....
I agree with Carol.
My miscarriages never had tons of blood.
Although, if it were me I would have already made an appt to the dr.
That is just how I am if I see that much blood coming from me.
