What to Expect with Bleeding and Symptoms"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will discuss what a miscarriage looks like and feels like. Before we get into the details, we want to acknowledge that miscarriages could be a significant and traumatic event. You may be having a lot of feelings right now and that is natural and perfectly okay. You do not have to face these feelings alone; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfamily.com\/miscarriage-support-organizations-2371339\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here is a list of resources that can help with pregnancy loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here at Ava, we want to make sure you have the most reliable and scientific information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A miscarriage is defined as a spontaneous loss of pregnancy of a fetus before it is viable\u2014usually defined as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar?tab=pc1&amp;authuser=0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20 weeks old<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK532992\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vast majority (80%) of miscarriages happen in the first trimester of pregnancy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (up to 12 weeks). Miscarriages are part of a natural process whereby the body gets rid of a fetus if there are any abnormalities such as in the number or structure of chromosomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miscarriages are quite common; approximately 20% of known pregnancies (clinically confirmed by ultrasound) and approximately one-third of pregnancies end in loss. You probably know someone who has had a miscarriage. Unfortunately, since it is still a taboo topic, you may think that this is only happening to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve taken a pregnancy test and it was positive, and you\u2019re experiencing heavy bleeding, then most likely you are experiencing a miscarriage. However, if you did not take a pregnancy test then it is not so obvious. How can you tell if you\u2019re having a heavy period or if you\u2019re having a miscarriage?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What does a miscarriage look like and feel like?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/miscarriage-symptoms-signs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miscarriage signs and symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vary greatly from woman to woman. Miscarriages also look and feel differently based on the age of the fetus and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/miscarriage-101\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">miscarriage type<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An early miscarriage, a loss of up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/12-weeks-pregnant-1st-trimester\/\">12 weeks of pregnancy<\/a>, looks different than a late miscarriage, which is a loss between 12 \u2013 20 weeks of pregnancy. Early miscarriages may look like a heavy period with or without any small tissue or products of conception. Late miscarriages may have blood flow with a more developed and identifiable embryo or fetus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is a table that outlines the different types of miscarriages and what they look like and how they feel like. It may seem that the signs and symptoms overlap and vary; that is because every woman is different and studies show <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1933719116654994\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a variety of experiences by women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The only way to confirm whether or not you had a miscarriage is through ultrasound and measurement of hCG pregnancy hormones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Type of Miscarriage<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>What it looks like<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>How it feels<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Complete <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; all pregnancy tissues are expelled from the body<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy bleeding and passage of tissue and products of conception that settles down<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal pain that settles down<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Incomplete <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; some pregnancy tissues are passed and some are retained in the body<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Active bleeding and passage of tissue and products of conception<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal pain<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Threatened <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; there is a risk of a miscarriage<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mild symptoms of bleeding or spotting in early pregnancy<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little to no abdominal pain<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Inevitable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; a miscarriage is happening and inavoidable<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy bleeding with clots<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal pain<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Missed <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; the whole embryo or fetus is still in the body<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With or without vaginal bleeding and persistent brown discharge<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early pregnancy symptoms such as vomiting may or may not have decreased or disappeared, but no abdominal pain\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/humrep\/dew010\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lower abdominal cramping seems to be a norm in early pregnancy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and should not be cause for alarm on its own. However, when paired with vaginal bleeding, then it may be a sign of a miscarriage or something serious.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What does a miscarriage looks like on an ultrasound?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar?tab=pc1&amp;authuser=0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gold standard for a miscarriage diagnosis is for a doctor to perform a vaginal ultrasound<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If a woman does not want a vaginal ultrasound, a doctor will perform an abdominal ultrasound but the diagnosis will not be as accurate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To diagnose a miscarriage on an ultrasound, doctors will look for a missing heartbeat, bleeding in the uterus including hematomas (crescent-shaped dark mass of clotted blood), an empty uterus, a uterus that still has retained products of conception or even the presence of a fetus or embryo that hasn\u2019t grown over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What are bleeding patterns during a miscarriage?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned in the table above, bleeding patterns during a miscarriage vary widely. You can have no bleeding at all or persistent brown discharge in a missed miscarriage. Light spotting or bleeding is characteristic of a threatened miscarriage, and heavier bleeding with clots, tissue, and other products of conception could mean an inevitable, incomplete or complete miscarriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Miscarriage or period: how to tell the difference<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main difference between having a miscarriage or being on your period is whether or not you are pregnant. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/can-you-be-pregnant-and-still-get-a-period\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not possible to be pregnant and still get your period at the same time<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/spotting-during-pregnancy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotting during early pregnancy is usually nothing to worry about<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In fact, spotting or vaginal bleeding during pregnancy occurs in 10 \u2013 15% of all pregnancies. Additionally, in all pregnancies with any kind of bleeding, only 14% resulted in a miscarriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you are pregnant and are having heavy bleeding that you think is a period, it may be a sign of a miscarriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How long does a miscarriage last?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to popular belief, a miscarriage is not a one-time event. Depending on the type of miscarriage, it could take about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=HZjFDwAAQBAJ&amp;lpg=PP1&amp;pg=PP1#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">two or more weeks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the time of diagnosis to the ending of symptoms such as bleeding and abdominal pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The length of time also depends on whether you and your doctor decide on passing a miscarriage without any interventions, managing it with medicine such as misoprostol, or with a surgical procedure such as Dilation and Curettage (D&amp;C). Medical or surgical interventions will speed up the duration of the miscarriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Does a heavier period or clots mean a miscarriage?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Normal menstrual bleeding patterns when a woman is not pregnant include regular periods of less than 8 days in length, that happen every 24-38 days. The typical volume of blood loss is less than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK279294\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80 milliliters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Any variation outside of that is abnormal. Abnormally heavy bleeding is if you soak one or more tampons, menstrual cups, or pads every hour for several hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abnormal changes in your period, when not pregnant, can be due to changes in the hormonal levels that regulate menstruation. For example, for some women, trying a new birth control can change their hormonal levels so much that it prompts their body to release a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decidual cast<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a tissue in the shape of their uterus).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you are sure you are pregnant and you are experiencing heavy bleeding and clots, you may be experiencing a miscarriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Next?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, most<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.conx.2019.100010\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> information online on miscarriages is not very accurate in terms of diagnosis and treatment of miscarriages<\/span><\/a><b><i>. <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we aim to bring you the latest scientific and accurate information, a doctor with access to your medical history and ability to perform diagnostic tests on you will be able to give you a more definitive answer regarding whether or not you experienced a miscarriage. Certain factors such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK532992\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">age, history of miscarriage and more can increase your likelihood of a miscarriage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, while there are no proven strategies to reduce the risk of future miscarriages, talk to your doctor about managing some risk factors such as high blood pressure, weight extremes, or smoking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, we will discuss what a miscarriage looks like and feels like.
