What are the Warning signs of Miscarriage:
If you experience any or all of these symptoms, it is important to contact your doctor or a medical facility to evaluate if you could be having a miscarriage:
Mild to severe back pain (often worse than normal menstrual cramps)
Weight loss
White-pink mucus
True contractions (very painful happening every 5-20 minutes)
Brown or bright red bleeding with or without cramps (20-30% of all pregnancies can experience some bleeding in early pregnancy, with about 50% of those resulting in normal pregnancies)
Tissue with clot like material passing from the vagina
Sudden decrease in signs of pregnancy
^^all that stuff has happened to me.....
Recurrent Miscarriage (RM): Defined as 3 or more consecutive first trimester miscarriages. This can affect 1% of couples trying to conceive.
Blighted Ovum: Also called an anembryonic pregnancy. A fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall, but fetal development never begins. Often there is a gestational sac with or without a yolk sac, but there is an absence of fetal growth.
^^and that sounds exactly like what i saw. Can someone please help me. What should i do now?
spotting
passing blood clots or tissue
decreased breast tenderness
no fetal movement
no heart sounds
cramping

I know it's painful not only physically, but talk to your doctor and make sure everything is okay, or how he can help you if it's not. [ needtobe's advice column | Ask needtobe A Question ]

That might indicate that you have had an incomplete miscarriage, where some of the tissue is retained. You may need surgical intervention or antibiotics if there's an infection. If you are trying for a baby, you may want to see your doctor to find out whether there's a problem, such as autoantibodies, which can cause pregnancy loss. When those problems are treated, you have a better chance of carrying to term a subsequent pregnancy. Good luck.
Oh, and don't forget to mourn this child if that is what feels appropriate to you. Rest and get plenty of fluids and iron-rich foods to build up your blood.
