Cause For Very Heavy Bleeding?

I had a late miscarriage (15 weeks in). About a week ago I had extremely heavy bleeding, soaked through two pairs of pants, then the bleeding slowed down drastically almost like an end of period (last day or so) flow. Two days ago I was sleeping and woke up covered in blood. I sat up and felt something pass. Went to the bathroom and dugong from the length a 15 week fetus was in my underwear. I've been bleeding on and off, not too heavy for the most part but heavier than a normal period, which I expected. In between heavy bouts of bleeding I experience a very watered down blood tinged discharge coupled with heavier than normal cramping. It almost feels like I'm peeing. I had this same discharge for approximately 3 weeks prior to the miscarriage and also had some spotting in this time. Actually, as I'm typing this I just completely soaked a fresh pad with blood. I had to run to the bathroom because I felt more than the pad could handle coming out. Any thoughts? Please be a free service...

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this this. This seems to be an incomplete abortion and you would need a follow up examination to confirm this. If it turns out to be the case, then you would need a procedure to completely empty the uterus. for now, I strongly recommend that you go to the hospital as severe bleeding can lead to shock and death.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be. I wish you well. Thanks for utilizing our services, we very much appreciate it.
