This is an old post, but so helpful.
I started feeling dizzy after dinner tonight, which scared me a little (okay, I admit still is a bit!). I came home to take my temp, fearing that maybe infection was starting (I just found out about the death of my child on Friday, taking meds to try to bring about the miscarriage). Temp was normal and bleeding has not yet started. Keeping an eye on things, but good to know others have experienced the dizzy feeling!

I have felt like I was in labor basically. I have had pain and exhaustion. This is awful I agree.

When mine happen, I started cramping.. but wasn't worried within 30 minutes I started bleeding. after another 30 minutes the blood was brown and almost completely stopped. I took a nap woke up shortly after falling a sleep to horrible horrible cramping and a lot of bleeding. Went to the ER where at first they just let me lay there (in pain.) Then the nurse realized I was getting worse and they gave me pain meds trough IV. that help very briefly as the pain was just continuing to worsen, was then given more pain meds and the doctor started the ultrasound after clearing the blockage down there as well as what was my baby. I passed everything within a few hours.. the ultrasound showed i was empty. was then sent home where I continued to bleed for 1 1/2 weeks. Bleeding has stopped and so has the cramping finally.. now its just the emotional tolls taking there effect.

after delievering my baby at 16 weeks who had died some time before, the dr. orignally thought he died at 13 weeks but when I delievered him he measured at 16 weeks. I feel completely exhausted is this normal or what anyone else has experienced?

I felt the same with my natural miscarriage. It's not nice. With the D&E I felt so much better, that was until my first period, for that and the next 2 periods I felt the dizziness, most horrible cramps etc. Thought it was worse to only go through it later. People tend to more understand that you feel terrible directly after a miscarriage. Not so nice to have to go through it for months after.

Hope you'll feel better soon.

I experienced the same thing. I wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the miscarriage though. I went to the ER last Thursday and by Saturday it was finished. For those three days I just felt uneasy, weak, and shaky. I thought it was just because of my emotional state, but I'm sure the miscarriage had an effect on my body as well. I hope you are feeling better. Physically, I feel back to normal. Still coping emotionally.

Oh goodness, that must have been difficult to do.

The dr. said as long as everything is doing what it's suppose to I can do all of this naturally and then go in to make sure I passed all the tissue. I was only 8 weeks along, but they think the baby only developed to 6 weeks.

I am having a lot of pain today. Lots of cramping again.

Thanks for your support. It sure is nice to be able to talk to those who have been through it.

My water broke and I went into labor at 15 weeks and delivered my son within a few hours so mine felt like giving birth. I'm sorry yours is this way, they can't do anything?

I didn't pass mine naturally. I was 11 weeks and my doctor suggested a D&C since I was that far along.

I was just wondering what everyone has experienced. I have been naturally miscarrying since Tuesday, and I have been a little dizzy, shaky, hurting and kinda wobbly. I just tried cleaning the bathroom... that was fun. Now I am exhausted. I think I have already passed the fetus, it is just the process of finishing up. THis is awful.
