Did anyone else here aside from me have no pain with their miscarriage? I had nothing but on and off very mild cramps and I keep seeing everyone say 'you know you've had a miscarriage because you will be bleeding heavy and you'll be in a lot of pain.' Personally, the cramps I got with the miscarriage were MUCH less painful than period cramps. (BTW I was almost 7 weeks if how far along you were makes a difference.)

The pain I had was horrible. It was worse than the pain I had when I was in labor with my daughter. I had contractions with my miscarriage (last April). I was 13 weeks, which is a little over 3 months. I was the worst emotional pain I had ever had. When the baby came out it was in a huge blood clot the size of a large grapefruit or the size of a baby's head. Sorry for the TMI, but that was part of it too.
The doctors didn't help either. I had to lay there from 4am to 9am before they did anything. Finally they gave me a vaginal ultrasound after filling my bladder manually. It hurt like hell! I hope I never have to go thru a miscarriage again. I'm still not over it. It is the same as losing any baby at any gestation you lose it.
I had a miscarriage last december and I was a week or two along. I just bled, no pain.

When I had my miscarriage it was some of the worst pain I've ever been in. I believe I was ten weeks. But I have a friend who experienced almost no pain when she had hers. She felt some mild cramping and went to the bathroom where she expelled a lot of blood. I think everyone is different.

I was eight weeks when I had my miscarriage, and like you I had very little pain, just some mild cramping toward the end. I started off bleeding slightly but was in no pain, so the doctors weren't too worried at first.

7 weeks is still pretty early in pregnancy, that may be why you didnt have as severe of cramps or bleeding.
I had no symptoms of miscarriage when I had one at 12 weeks. I had no cramps, bleeding or break from morning sickness.
The only way I knew I had miscarried was a routine ultrasound showed no heartbeat.
Eventually I would have begun the process of shedding the lining etc.
Im sorry for your loss

For women who miscarry early on with serious cramps, thats simply the end of the loss. Its not a sign of losing, but the act of your body clearing the uterus.
That early on, its not a failure of your body to produce a child, its a failure of the embryo to grow properly. Generally its a blyted ovum. Something that is up to the sperm and egg, not the body.
Beyond that there is NOTHING that can be done that early on to save a pregnancy, because of the fact that its the failed development of the embryo. Thats why doctors dont seem to do anything about it until its over.
So losing a baby without any signal doesnt mean your body failed your baby without warning, it simply means you had already lost your pregnancy, and your body began expelling it without any sensation of pain.

i can't remember having pain when i misscarried at 13 weeks..
there was however loads of blood lost.. so much that my body went into shock, i started fitting and stopped breathing..
the only "pain" i remember was when i actually started contracting, i was shocked as my "waters" did pop, and as i was contracting blood stained water came from me.......still though it was not pain as such just a very odd and nasty feeling.............
then again maybe i was in such a state i never felt the pains
