Normal or Not During Miscarriage?
Hello ladies. I had a US on Monday and there was no heartbeat at 9 weeks. They sent me for bloodwork to check beta levels but told me I was probably facing miscarriage. Bleeding started shortly after I got home this afternoon. I'm having plenty of abdominal cramping which I know is normal but I'm also having rectal pain (TMI - sorry). Everything I read says this is a sign of ectopic pregnancy but the US showed the pregnacy in the uterus. Anyone know anything about this?

I got rectal pain with a few of mine mainly with the ones that were farther along and none of mine were ectopic. If the U/s showed it was in the uterus then don't worry about ectopic. You have to remember these cramps are contractions they can be quite painful. I am sorry about your loss hun
Thanks for responding. Once I passed a few larger clots the cramping and other pains seemed to subside. Now I just have bleeding like a normal period. I've spoken with someone at my doctor's office a few times and they've been great. I go in for an ultrasound on Monday to see if everything is passing as it should. I'm really hoping to avoid a D&C. Thanks again. I appreciate the support :-)
I guess that you don't need this answered now, but when I miscarried at 12 weeks it was like mini labor. I had contractions at regular intervals and I had them same thing in my bowels.
I do hope that everything has passed and that you won't need a D&C on top of this all.

Just wanted to offer hugs! Hope your appointment goes well on Monday.

8/11,
I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I tried to find some information that might help you understand what's going on. I know it's not much but I found it really helpful after I had miscarried, although I had to have a D&E performed since I couldn't miscarry the normal way. I hope everything actually turns out to be on the up and up but this might help explain the pains and everything. I hope it helps, good luck sweetie!
