The
SYMPTOMS of a MISCARRIAGE while pregnant are:
-
Bleeding from the vagina.
-
Pains that feel like a period pain.
-
Passing fleshy material from the
vagina.
If blood loss has been heavy then you may also
feel dizzy or faint.
Things you need to pay attention to
are how much blood you have lost - did you see clots
passing, how many sanitary pads did you need to use before
getting to your doctor. You also need to make a careful note of whether
you see any fetal looking tissue pass. This information presented
to your obstetrician is of enormous value in helping him/her form
an initial impression of your case.
After chatting with you, your doctor will then
need to pass an instrument called a speculum into your vagina
which allows them to see your cervix. Depending on the state of the
cervix they can then provide a diagnosis prior to treatment.
