I miscarried on Saturday at 7 weeks. I have a few questions about the physical recovery that I haven't been able to find answers to by searching online (or the answers are from such mainstream sites that I'm not sure if they're really accurate).
1. Do I need to see a HCP for any reason? As far as I can tell everything is "normal", I passed a large clot initially and haven't been bleeding a whole lot.
2. Do I need to rest? I've been carrying on my normal activities, which usually includes a brisk 30-40 minute walk daily.
3. Can I wear a Diva cup now? I hate pads with a passion...I'm even using cloth and I still hate them.
4. Do I really need to wait to have sex until the bleeding has stopped?
5. I read a couple of places that the bleeding should stop completely within a week. Is this accurate?
6. Is it best to wait for one cycle before TTC again?
7. Do I need to avoid baths until the bleeding has stopped?
I think that's all...sorry for all the questions. I was kind of surprised that there wasn't a "what to expect during/after a miscarriage" thread stickied.
