I'm not positively having a mc this pregnancy,but it is on my mind.So, I was trying to think of some reassuring,peaceful ceremony that may be appropriate for a mc.
My first(last) mc was on Labor day,2000.I was taking it as it came,using my birth knowledge,and passed the baby in the tub,and let it drain.
For future-if any-I think I would keep the tissue and bury it,wrapped in a cloth,or receiving blanket.Probably under a tree,like a placenta.
For the wrenching,hard,or fast mc's there is not much one could do,I suppose,but try to heal.But for the slow,days of spotting first mc's and more birthlike passings,There could be some comfort in ceremony.
(Are there Doula's who attend first trimester mc's?)
Maybe as simple as a candle that burns throughout,and then could be lit on the anniversaries?
A tissue tree burial/funeral.
Maybe some birth art,there is some menstral art that incorporates the actual blood.I'm not sure this would be appropriate in this case-but on the other hand,there are placenta prints...
Incorporating siblings is another matter too,they may be mourning also...
Just some things on my mind-what do you think?Ceremony ideas,past experiences,sibling suggestions?Let's share them here.

I only have brown blood,and only at night.It has been 3 days now,and I think it would have picked up if it was a mc.However,after reading Naughty Dingo's posts,I'm not 100% certain.Thanks.I'm going to call my mw today.
