I'm so sorry. Take the pain meds and use the heating pad, that is what helped me. I took misoprostol at 7 weeks because I had a blighted ovum- only a sac ever developed, but my body never got the memo. We caught it because of some spotting, otherwise I'd probably have continued on for a bit.
The cramping was painful, but I'd been given dilaudid, which I took. The heating pad helped a lot too. The pregnancy hadn't developed much, but I did feel the clots passing when it came out. They were noticeable but not scary or very large. The amount of bleeding was more than a period, but for me it only came out when I was on the toilet/pushed it out, so I didn't have any scary amounts in pads or whatever.My advice is to take off whatever time you can, lie in bed, eat what tastes good, and watch t.v.
I tried to push it and get back to normal ASAP, and I just wasn't ready. I made it through the day, but I was so tired I thought I might fall asleep on the drive home, and in hindsight an extra day or two at home (with my daughter in daycare) would have helped me a lot, emotionally and physically. -
@petunia354: I'm so sorry
I had a natural miscarriage at eight weeks and was terrified of passing the baby, but it was nowhere near as bad as I had imagined. I felt something slip out of me when I was on the toilet. It was about the size of a walnut. A few hours later, I had a similar sensation and something else passed and that was it. I bled for about a week. Physically it was easy, emotionally not so much. Big hugs to you.

No advice, but I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Wishes for strength during this difficult time.

@petunia354 this is so sad, I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. 5 weeks ago I had literally the exact same experience as @nutella, so since I had a D&C (good use of $2500 I was hoping to put toward a live birth, but whatever), no advice on the pain or tissue... but I'm thinking of you. I do hope you take it really, really easy on yourself in the next couple of weeks. hang in there

I'm so sorry for your loss!
I had a similar situation, should have been 10 weeks baby measured 6. I didn't know what to expect, I wish that I had bought some big night time sized pads before hand as well as one of those square covers for the bed, like the puppy pad. I bled way more then I ever imagined.My midwife suggested soaking in the tub and drinking wine to help relax the muscles. I opted to eat nearly an entire chocolate cream pie while binge watching vampire diaries. Whatever works for you.

@Keybee: mine told me I had to stay out of the tub since my cervix was open???
If you do go in the tub, I'd scrub it really well first.
