Answer 1

They can wait to see if it expels naturally if you are early. However with a 2nd or 3rd trimester you have to be induced and give birth (sorry.. I just had a stillborn on November 9th and this is a terrible experience).

You can do as you wish. Bury the body, have it cremated, have a memorial.. whatever you feel comfortable with.

I had my son cremated, I have his hand prints, footprints, photos, birth certificate and death certificate along with some momentos given to me by the hospiital in a box.

I just picked up the ashes and have a burial permit. From here I am stumped. I recently asked a question for advice as to what to do with the ashes.

Unfortunately, miscarriages are fairly common. On average, one in five pregnancies will end in a miscarriage - and some research shows that there are up to 800,000 miscarriages a year in the United States.

In most cases, a miscarriage cannot be prevented because it is the result of a random genetic or chromosomal change that occurs during conception or during early fetal development. That said, certain factors - such as age, smoking, drinking, and a history of miscarriage - put a woman at a higher risk for losing a pregnancy. But you can do many things to increase the chances that you and your baby will be healthy throughout the pregnancy.

What Is a Miscarriage?
A miscarriage is the spontaneous abortion of an embryo or fetus before it's developed enough to survive. This can happen even before a woman is aware that she is pregnant.

A miscarriage usually occurs in the first 3 months of pregnancy, before 20 weeks' gestation. A small fraction of miscarriages - less than 1% of them - are called stillbirths, as they occur after 20 weeks of gestation.

Symptoms of a Miscarriage
Many women don't even know that they've had a miscarriage, thinking that it's just a particularly heavy menstrual flow.

Some women experience cramping, spotting, abdominal pain, fever, weakness, vomiting, or back pain. Spotting is not always a sign of a miscarriage; many women normally experience it early on in pregnancy. But just to be safe, if you have spotting or any of these other symptoms anytime during your pregnancy, it's a good idea to talk with your doctor.

If you have had a miscarriage, your doctor may use a number of terms to explain what has happened. Your doctor may say you have a blighted ovum, which is a miscarriage that has occurred so early that no clearly defined fetal tissues have formed. An inevitable miscarriage is bleeding and cramping during the early stages of a pregnancy, signs that the cervix may be opening. An incomplete miscarriage is when the body does not expel all the elements of the pregnancy. A missed miscarriage is when the body does not discharge the fetus, the placenta, or other elements for several weeks - this might occur when the woman has neither menstrual periods nor any signs of pregnancy. A recurrent abortion is when a woman miscarries three or more consecutive times.
usually if you have a miscarriage they can preform a d&c but doctors recoomend women do it on their own unless the pain gets really bad.

Well if your having a miscarriage then it will feel like labor pains. I had a late miscarriage in 2002. I was 8 months and having lower abdomen pain and back pain. if you are feeling this go to your doctor asap. You will have to deliver the babies, this is the hardest thing to do. Then the hospital will give you a death certificate, and its up to you weather you want to bury your baby or have your baby cremated. I had mine cremated its cheaper and more personal.

I am truely sorry if you do have to go through this. The hospital will also have soemone talk to you about Bearevement counslor. Good Luck hun.

Answer 4

In early pregnancies ( i mean a couple of days) you can't tell you are having a miscarriage. It sounds awful but you probably already had a couple if you are sexually active, don't worry it happens to every woman. They try to take the baby a.s.a.p., it is very bad for your health to keep it. The funeral thing is up to you, some women need that closure to help them heal. Good luck.

Answer 5

Miscarriages -spontaneous abortions-generally occur in the first few weeks to three months of the pregnancy. At your stage of the pregnancy you may be starting to have braxton hicks contractions. These are contractions that are generally irregular and don't really do any dilation or any of the things that real contractions do in regard to delivery. If you are having severe cramps, bleeding, or have passed the mucus plug you need to contact your doctor. At this stage if the baby is delivered there should be no major problems.

Answer 6

If it's December, and you are due in January, then it's not a miscarriage. It's labor, and if the baby didn't survive, then you would have a funeral. If you are due in January and you are bleeding, then you need to go to the hospital.
