cramps i think. spotting ...that maybe builds up. any signs of that and feet should be put up for some R&R

Yes, cramps, spotting and just generally feeling unwell. I got horrible headaches with my 2 m/c and felt really ill before getting any cramps and bleeding.

I had a threatened miscarriage when I was 6 weeks pregnant with DD...I was tumbled over with tummy cramps (couldnt move because it was hurting so much) and also had bleeding... I can imagine that a real miscarriage would have similar to worse pain?

oh yeah i remember now. with my second m/c i was doing a session with a personal trainer and i was struggling but i kept pushing myself but she was trying to ease off because she knew i was struggling and that i was pregnant. anyway, on the way home , i coughed or sneezed or farted or something and accidentally pushed a big clot out. and that was the start of it. nothing leading up to it from memory.
my first one started with light spotting and went from there. i experienced light spotting in the 5-6 week of my second pregnancy, but that was fine.

When i had a miscarriage I had spots of blood but didnt think it was a m/c then i started getting really big clots coming out (tmi?!?) & some cramps after a few days.

I had very light brown discharge for a couple of days, no other symptoms at all. From there I went to the hospital, had the news confirmed and had a D&C preventing me from progressing the miscarriage naturally.

thanks for you replies.

the reason i ask i because im currently 8 weeks 4 days

i have been spotting since monday on and off, but i had no pains

today at work i had sharp (stabbing) pains near my right hip. I have already had a ultrasound to see if it was ectopic at 5 weeks 6 days, and everything was fine. and i saw the heart beat and my little black blob.

but tonight i have been spotting again and have pains like period cramps but not as bad, im really worried now.

has this ever happened to anyone else here?

thanks

I had a few light bleeds. No cramps. Rang hospital quite abit and everytime they said that it was normal. Went for 12 week scan and found out the baby did grow. Had a D&C at 12 1/2 weeks.
