I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. However, you really do need to go to a doctor and check things out. You can go to a clinic in your area and get free medical treatment or treatment on a sliding scale.
When you get pregnant again, you really need to get good prenatal care. It's important for your body and for your baby to take care of yourself.
There may be a reason you miscarried and you need to find out why so that it doesn't happen again.
Don't neglect yourself or your child because you don't have insurance; there are alternatives.
Feel free to email me me if you need more information; I can point you to good resources in your home state.

I really am sorry .....I know how you feel, I had one myself last November....
Don't blame yourself what happened, it is not your fault. If you did everything right, these things happen and are never easy to deal with.
I was stunned to hear that 30% of all pregnancies end in misscarriages... Statistically, this is a relly big number.
I know you said that you do not have insurance, but if it's possible for you in any way to go see a doctor and do a vaginal ultrasound just to see that everything did come out. What happened in my case, I lost the feteus, however, the sac remained and I needed a D&C to clean my insides. It's basically the same procedure as an abortion. This was mendatory because if not, the consequences down the line could have been devastating.
Never the less, I've heard of people bleeding a lot and they still gave birth..... I mean the chances are slim, but you never know.
I had to tell my self that it wasn't meant to be at this time, that there is a reason for it......
Your body can take up to 12 weeks to recognise that it is not pregnant anymore. Possibly less, depends on the person. Once everything is back to normal, you will get your period and you will be able to try again.
When you try again, take folic acid ( I am sure you already did), do sit-ups and other exercises... they will make your stomach (and uterus) muscles stronger and more ready to carry a child.... Again, this might help or not change anything at all..... If it's meant to be , it will....
I myself am trying again, it's been two months.... I am hoping that this is the month for us.....

I'm so sorry, honey, that you lost your little baby. That is such a tragic thing and the pain is hard, too. Even if you don't have health insurance, you could check yourself into an ER or at the very least call your local health department because they can get you the care you need.
When a miscarriage occurs you need to go into make sure all traces of the pregnancy are gone from your womb because infection can set in if not.
Take care of yourself by getting some rest and doing whatever the doctor tells you. As for having sex, many women can get pregnant soon after a miscarriage, but if you are not married (you didn't mention your husband or anything) I would stop having sex anyway since a baby needs a mommy AND daddy.
PLEASE do not go to a Planned Parenthood clinic! Why? Because they will just advise you to get on birth control instead of advising you to engage in more responsible behavior (abstinence). Planned Parenthood's main business is selling birth control and providing abortions and they do NOTHING to discourage sexual promiscuity, especially among vulnerable teens and young women.
That's no place for you right now. You need loving support, good medical care and inspiration to make some changes in your lifestyle.
God be with you.

your should really consider going to the Dr. in case you have not passed all of the fetal material. If you are not going to go to the Dr. be sure to pay attention if you start running a fever (low or high) or if you begin to have smelly vaginal discharge. Also if you begin having lower abdominal pain or soak a pad an hour or more. If you begin to feel faint go to ER ASAP!!! DO NOT have sexual intercourse or use a tampon until you have stopped bleeding as your cevix is likely open and more easily infected. Use some sort of birth control for at least 3-6 months to allow for healing. If you begin to feel sick, have increased pain or fever go to the HOSPITAL. You could develop a serious infection. Also, you never know if you have actually miscarried or if you have a tubal pregnancy. Take another pregnancy test in 4-6 weeks to make sure. Good luck and I am sorry about your loss. Take care of yourself. The ER cannot turn you away just because you do not have insurance. Try making an appt at a clinic for an examination as soon as you can. Also, what if you have not miscarried at all, you should allow a Dr. to make that call.

Im sorry to hear that. However, do seek professional medical attention. You need to know for sure what's going on with your body. You also need to know how to take care of your body so you can nuture yourself if you decide to become pregnant again.
Lastly, you never know what's going on if you don't see a doctor.
You could be altering your health. Please read:
When I was about 8-9 weeks pregnant I had back pain so I layed down. I started to bleed. Blood just flowed down my leg as I stood up. I was so afraid, my husband and I rushed to the hospital. I knew I lost the baby. However, I did not. I stayed off my feet for a while and later found out that the bleeding was an early sign that my baby would have problems. With the help of early intervention, my baby was born healthy.
Next case: My cousin miscarried and never sought medical attention. As a result, her blood was contaminated for so long from the baby that she died.
Sorry, so long but I had to get my point across.
Good Luck! And God Bless you!

just go to the er w/out insurance! U could come across many complications! Parts of the embryo could stay inside of u and cause an infection that could kill u. If ur thinking about having sex, that will surely give u an infection, until u stop bleeding. If u refuse to go to the doc, try & get a hold of some antibiotics; but 1st make sure u are not still pregnant. Some ppl bleed like crazy, & still have healthy babies!

You need to go to the doctors. Please!! I had a misscarriage at 10 weeks and it was so painful. They might need to do a ultra sound to make sure every thing is gone and that your uterus is contracting to go back down. It can cause a lot of problems if it's not all gone! Like never being able to get pregnant again or fertility problems. I didn't not have insurance with my second kid who is 8 weeks old. But it's so worth it to make sure you are all right. If you go to the doctors now with no insurance it might end up being cheaper now than later if there is problems that surface from you not getting checked and no insurance than either. They told me no sex for 2 weeks after the misscarriage. Please don't do this alone it's not healthy. And again sorry for your loss!

You need to look into a free clinic or ER, you can't go without any doctor care at all. If your miscarriage doesn't complete you are risking getting an infection.
You risk getting pregnant again if you have sex following a miscarriage and since you don't have insurance, please avoid having sex and getting pregnant again until you have a way to pay for having a baby's birth and taking care of a baby, thy are not cheap.

you need to go see a doctor immediately you cannot take care of yourself if you really had a miscarriage you need to get a D&C done in order to make sure all the remains came out because if anything is left inside you could get an infection and die. Please go see a doctor
