Women experience a wide range of emotions after having a miscarriage. There are no “right” or “wrong” responses. Some women need more time to come to terms with the loss, and others need less time. It is important that you allow yourself to heal in your own way, and do not be embarrassed to solicit the advice, support, or help of your loved ones or your doctor.
Are there any symptoms that should prompt me to call my doctor after the miscarriage is over? In general, you should call your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. However, symptoms that can sometimes be a sign of a complication include a fever, persistent heavy vaginal bleeding, feeling lightheaded or dizzy, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, or profound sadness or depression for more than two weeks after the pregnancy loss. It is important to contact a doctor if you notice any of these symptoms, as further treatment may be necessary.
