Q: Infection from miscarriage ?

Okay so about two weeks from today I suffered from what I believe was a miscarriage. I have been bleeding for about two weeks now...is that normal? It stopped for a couple days then came back. Sometimes really heavy, other times not. Now I am experiencing sharp horrible pains, severe at times were I can't even walk. I thought it was constipation because I wasn't using the bathroom for a day but then I started drinking more water and eating a lot more fiber so the constipation syptoms started to go away. I get nauseous and I have vomited a few times. I don't know what to do considering I don't have heath insurance?!?!? PLEASE HELP. I am scared. What should I do? What are anyones opinions on what it could be??? Should I see a doctor anyways? Embarassed

You NEED to speak to your doctor if you are concerned. It is normal to bleed for a while after a miscarriage but I don't know what the pains could be.

Are you passing clots? Are you bleeding so heavy that you fill up a pad in thirty minutes. If you had a miscarriage and have been bleeding for two weeks, then you should go to a doctor. I had a miscarriage back in July and they told me that i would bleed until there was no more blood. If you are having really bad cramps to the point were you cant walk, then something is wrong.

You need to be seen by a doctor. Whenever you suspect miscarriage a doctor needs to evaluate what is going on. You should not ever bleed for 2 weeks without contacting someone.

GO TO THE ER! The blood loss of two weeks is concerning.
