Question Posted Wednesday December 21 2011, 10:48 am
I am 24 years of age and of course, Female.
Sept 17 this year I lost my baby after a 2 - 2 1/2 month pregnancy. My first period (which I had expected) was VERY heavy, passing many large clots and much blood. I'm now currently on my second period, and it's the same as the first. VERY heavy. If I don't make it to the restroom in time, I HAVE to change my pad and possibly my panties. When I make it to the restroom in time, there is so much blood and clots. Is this normal? I can't see my doctor until next year on Jan 8th because until then she is booked. So I would like some advice or information from anyone who has had this happen, whether they had an abortion, or like me a miscarriage. In my opinion they are the same thing, you lose your baby, since I've read abortions are pretty much induced miscarriages, so any help is truly needed and much appreciated.

Think 50%! I tell you because I went through something very similar. I blamed my body, diet, you name it I blamed it. As I looked for the answer I realize nature works this way. If your body is not ready for a baby, if your immune system is too strong, if you uterus is not strong enough, if the baby did not attache itself to the uterine wall, your hormones. It could be one in a million reasons. I understand your pain but miscarriage is very different than an abortion. Abortion is a woman purposely terminating a pregnancy and you did not do that I hope.
