I miscarried on November 19th. I still have spotting/ light flow. Is this normal, should I call the doctor.?

Answer 1

What can I expect physically after a miscarriage?
It takes a few weeks to a month or more to recover physically from a miscarriage. Your recovery will depend on how far along you were into the pregnancy. Some women experience the following physical effects:

Vaginal bleeding, similar to a menstrual period, may last up to a week after a miscarriage.
Light bleeding, or spotting.
Depending on your menstrual cycle, normal periods should resume in 3-6 weeks.
Lower abdominal pain similar to menstrual cramps may last up to 2 days after the miscarriage.
Breast discomfort, engorgement or leaking milk; ice packs and a supportive bra may relieve discomfort. This discomfort usually stops within a week.
Some pregnancy hormones remain in the blood for one to two months after a miscarriage.

How can I prevent infection?
After you have been examined by a doctor, there are several things you can do until the bleeding stops to help prevent infection. These include:

Using sanitary pads rather than tampons. Wait until your next period before using tampons again.
Do not douche
Do not go into swimming pools or hot tubs
Take showers instead of baths
Do not have sexual intercourse
Also, if your doctor prescribes antibiotics for you, it is very important to take the antibiotic exactly as prescribed until all the medication is gone. (Even if your symptoms improve after only a few days of taking the antibiotic, keep taking them until they are gone!)

When can I return to my normal activities?
You may resume normal activities as soon as you feel able. However, it is wise to ask your doctor for more specific instructions regarding any vigorous or strenuous exercise.

I think it'll be ok if you soak like 7 pads in an hour then go to the hospital but I'd take a pregnancy test to see what it says if the test comes back positive go to the hospital because your hcg levels should be gone now but if your having pain and feel you need to go to the er then I think you should to make sure your ok it's always better to be safe then sorry you gotta take care of yourself things can go wrong

Answer 3

its normal. its when you are bleeding more than 3 pads an hour that you have to worry.when i had a miscarriage i bleed for a month, but after you get done bleeding you should make an appointment with the doctor to make sure everything passed, because if not it could cause infection
