Miscarriage: What to Do and When to Seek Medical Help

If you think you've had a miscarriage, it's important to seek medical attention.

Here are some steps to follow:

 

• Call your doctor or midwife. They can confirm whether or not you've had a miscarriage, provide support, and recommend next steps.

• Go to the hospital if you're bleeding heavily, experiencing severe pain, or have a fever.

• Take care of yourself physically and emotionally. Rest, eat healthy foods, and drink plenty of fluids. Allow yourself to grieve the loss of your pregnancy.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

 

• Keep a journal. This can help you process your emotions and track your physical symptoms.

• Talk to someone you trust. This could be a friend, family member, therapist, or support group.

• Find ways to relax. Yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature can be helpful.

• Give yourself time to heal. It takes time to recover from a miscarriage, both physically and emotionally.
