Hello,
Few women may experience below symptoms after miscarriage
1. Vaginal bleeding, similar to a menstrual period, may last up to a week after a miscarriage.
2.Light bleeding, or spotting.
3. Depending on your menstrual cycle, normal periods should resume in three to six weeks.
4. Lower abdominal pain similar to menstrual cramps may last up to two days after the miscarriage.
5. Breast discomfort, engorgement or leaking milk; ice packs and a supportive bra may relieve discomfort. This discomfort usually stops within a week.
6. Some pregnancy hormones remain in the blood for one to two months after a miscarriage.
Palpitations may be due to anxiety about your loss or panic episodes or fluid retention and volume overload etcetera. Please consult your doctor he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
