[quote=Anonymous]I've had 4 natural first trimester miscarriages (of wanted babies). It's easier the earlier they happen, so if you suspect, PLEASE DON'T WAIT. Gently broach the conversation. Otherwise she will suffer needlessly. There are only a certain number of weeks available for her to receive a pill, after that it's surgery and the risks increase significantly.

Ask the OB if she needs to double check with an ultrasound that it's not an ectopic pregnancy. If Your daughter is in pain down there and also has pain in her shoulder, that's an ectopic emergency and she needs the ER at once.

A mifepristone pill would be best for scheduling a miscarriage, that way she'll know when it happens and you can help her manage her pain and discomfort (OTC pain relievers and heating pads). Having never given birth before, she might be surprised by the contractions. Or not. Most of my miscarriages were no worse than bad periods, but then I've given birth without pain meds, so maybe my pain tolerance is high. If she bleeds more than one maxi pad's worth in an hour, or has large egg-size blood clots, or is in terrible pain, bring her to the ER.

Good luck, OP and DD.[/quote]
