Frequently asked questions about miscarriage
The symptoms can vary and may depend on the gestation of the pregnancy and the type of miscarriage you experience.
Most commonly, bleeding and cramping like a heavy period is experienced. Sometimes women have severe cramping like that experienced in labour, from the uterus contracting to pass the pregnancy tissue.
