Go to Emergency Room: Hopefully by the time you read this you've already gone to the Emergency Room. Bleeding can be significant and life threatening and you may need medication or a procedure to stop the bleeding.

Count pads/tampons: It is normal to have a little heavier bleeding after a miscarriage, but excessive blood loss can be dangerous. If you bleed much heavier than a normal period for more than 2 days, then you should see a healthcare provider and have your hemoglobin checked to make sure you are not getting anemia. You can estimate the amount of bleeding by keeping track of the number of tampons or pads that you use
