After 4 – 6 hours, there will be abdominal pain, increased bleeding, and the pregnancy sac, tissue, embryo, and placenta will be expelled, indicating a miscarriage. The symptoms will gradually decrease and disappear.
Seek medical attention at the nearest hospital if you experience the following symptoms:
o Severe continuous bleeding
o Dizziness, fatigue, fainting, weakness
o Fever lasting more than 24 hours or fever with chills
o Foul-smelling vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, pelvic pain
After a miscarriage, there may be bleeding for the first 1 – 2 days, more than a normal period, and it will gradually decrease. During this time, avoid exercise or heavy work. Menstruation will return in 4 – 8 weeks. After a miscarriage, ovulation can occur quickly, and having unprotected sex may result in pregnancy. *Don’t forget to use contraception/use condoms every time you have sex. Follow up with scheduled appointments or perform a self-urine test 3-4 weeks after the miscarriage.
