[quote=Anonymous]Why would you ever need to go to the hospital if you have a miscarriage? I had one at 11 weeks, bled for 8 hours, and called the midwife on call 3 times throughout. It was spontaneous, painful, and sucky. But I did not go to the ER - that would have been more sucky. Instead I stayed where I was (I was at a beach house with friends for the weekend.. ugh), played cards, drink fluids, rested, and went through an entire package of mega maxi pads.

My DH was freaked about the amount of blood, but given how much your blood volume goes up in pregnancy, I figured I had lots to spare and that it also probably looked like more than it was. Bleeding slowed enough eventually for me to go to sleep without worrying about ruining the sheets, and I was fine. (Sad, devastated even, but fine physically.) I went to see the the midwives several days later, and they didn't even do any kind of exam - I had to request an ultrasound, which I wanted for closure, and to be sure it was "complete" (it was.)

Under what circumstances in early pregnancy would you need medical attention if you have a miscarriage?[/quote]
