| Symptoms of Miscarriage | The first one is vaginal bleeding, which may progresses from light to heavy. It may be constant or irregular. Bleeding usually passes with pain and cramps. During this period you can wear sanitary napkins but no tampons. Although bleeding is the part of a normal pregnancy, do not take it lightly. Report your doctor and give him the details.
What will your care provider do? First your doctor will take an ultrasound, blood tests and do an internal examination to see if the cervix is dilated. A woman who is about to miscarry should try to save any tissue in a clean container and bring it to her provider.
 The second symptom of a miscarriage is pain. You may suffer from abdominal pain, pelvic cramps, or steady, dull ache in the lower part of your back. Pain may passes before, after or during the bleeding. Ejection of tissue and blood spots out of vagina is not less important symptom of a miscarriage. Symptoms of a miscarriage also include fever, vomiting and weakness.
What do you have to do if you have lost the pregnancy, but your tissue has not yet pass? You have two options. The first is to let the miscarriage happen on its own; often it happens within a week. But this can be physically painful. Also nausea, vomiting and diarrhea occur.
The second thing you can do it is to undergo a D & C procedure (vacuum aspiration in order to extract the tissue).
After any of these options you will still have mild-menstrual, light cramps and light bleeding for up to a week or two. During this period you have to avoid sex, swimming and vaginal medications. Take complete rest until your bleeding stops totally.
