Aftermath of natural miscarriage

I found out I was going to have a miscarriage last week, at the 13 week mark because our baby did not have a heartbeat.  I wanted to try to have the miscarriage naturally.

 

This whole week, I have been cramping and bleeding a lot and today I passed something huge which I assume was the sac and the fetus.

 

What else do I have to expect?  Is this the end?  Or more cramping and bleeding?  We really just want this to be over :(.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I know how tough it can be.

If you actually did pass the sac and fetus, then the worst is over and you will probably just lightly bleed and clot for a few more days, followed with just light bleeding and spotting for a few more days after that. The worst of the cramping should be over, too.

The problem is, there are so many big clots that need to be passed that if you didn't pass ALL of them, you will not stop bleeding and cramping. Do you have a follow-up appointment scheduled with an ultrasound to determine if you passed everything? If not, I'd get that scheduled. If they give you the "all clear" at that appt then rest assured that physically the worst is over.

GL!

femmepink pretty much has you covered on the answers to your questions. Just wanted to say that I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope that you're past the worst of it. Definitely get into your doc like she said to make sure everything's passed.
