What does a miscarriage at 8 weeks look like?

Answer 1

had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago when i was 8 weeks pregnant.had brown discharge that morning and then started to bleed heavily enough that i had to wear a sanitary towel.a blood clot about 2cm came out with tissue in it and that was my baby.

It depends when the baby died. I've mc'd 3 times. 1st and 2nd was about 6 weeks and baby had died around 4-5 weeks into pregnancy. 1st mc I had d&c so I didn't see anything. 2nd just passed clots, some big, some small, never saw anything that I thought was a sac but one of the clots must have been. 3rd I was 9 1/2 weeks but u/s showed baby died at 8 1/2 weeks. I bled for 2 weeks prior to passing due to placental abruption, which caused the mc. Started having contractions every 4-5 minutes one night, I have 2 children and it felt exactly like full term labor. I passed some larger tissue that night, nothing but blood the next day. The 2nd next night the contractions were extreme, went to the bathroom and passed a few bigger clots then the sac came out. It was grayish colored. This is detailed but needs to be to answer the question. I cut the sac open and there was my little baby. It looked like a miniature baby, black spots where the eyes were, little legs and arms and I could even see the tiny fingers on the hands. About 30 minutes later I felt something, went to the bathroom and the placenta passed. Cramping stopped and bleeding slowed. Some people say they just pass clots and tissue, nothing distinctive, but it all depends on when the baby actually stopped growing, not when your body expels it.
