Post miscarriage

Sorry for your loss. I went through 2 miscarriages and both are natural. I didn't know I was pregnant with the 1st one until I started peeing bloody red and it was confirmed a miscarriage. I was estimated about 6-7 weeks pregnant with the 2nd one until the same thing happened. I started bleeding for 2 weeks. My sac also stayed the same size for that 2 weeks. I was supposed to do a D&C but a day before the surgery, I felt contractions and passed out my sac. I stopped bleeding after that. I didn't do any confinement with the first but did 2 weeks for 2nd. Actually I don't even need to do unless I miscarried at 20 weeks above but still need my body to heal completely from inside. I wear socks and ate confinement foods but didn't do any massage or herbal bath. But I do bed rest alot.

Sorry about your loss. At 11+ weeks, we learned that our little one stopped growing after 7 weeks. Our OB advised us to wait for a week as the body would often naturally expel the foetus. I finally miscarried on Christmas day but the ultrasound on 26th showed that there’s still tissue left. My OB has given me 3 doses of Cytotec to help contract the uterus and dilate the cervix to expel the remaining tissue. It didn’t help so we scheduled D&C on 31st of Dec. During the entire time, it was only on 25th that I had contractions similar to labour pre-delivery. Besides that, no pains at all. Anyway, my OB gave me 1 week HL post the D&C. I recovered quite fast though despite not having any special diet or movement restrictions.

I am sorry for your loss.. I had a miscarriage as well during week 11. Had oral medication and 1 week of hl. However i didn't go through any confinement steps. Just drank chicken essence and avoid cold drinks that's it. Had a clean miscarriage after my 1 week hl and went back to work. Even though we healed physically, i think we need more time to heal mentally. I was crying into my sleep every night for the past few weeks after my miscarriage. Jia you!! I hope you can pass through this darkest time knowing that you are not alone. Am having my rainbow baby now after 1 year so i am sure it will happen to you too!

Hi, sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage at week 6+ in the 3rd week of Dec. My whole back was hurting for about 3 weeks and lower abdomen was slightly painful. Went for review 2 weeks after my miscarriage. Gynae said it is normal. Our bodies need to heal. What you are doing is fine. Give yourself time to heal and recuperate. Good to continue with massage and maybe slow walks when you feel better. I spent most of the first week in bed, it makes me feel worse. Felt better after my post natal massage last week. Take care.

sorry to hear abt your loss... Please do not worry too much for your HL..it would be good for you to go back and see your OB to have a check should you still feel pain on your lower abdomen. Should your body need more time to recover, probably they would just extend your HL because different body takes some time to recover fully. Other than that, continue with whatever you are doing for yourself and stay positive ok. Remember to hydrate yourself too. Stay safe!

My previous gynae gave me 1 mth HL but before I went back to work she review me to make sure I’m fine before gg back. I went thru a 2 weeks mini confinement and avoided a lot of cold drinks for a month. I went to see TCM after my HL over and it helps to recover faster.

Hi! Sorry for the loss and i just want to ask do you bath with the confinement herbal bath??

I am sorry to hear. I also went through a miscarriage. It took 8 weeks me to recover.
