What happens when someone has a miscarriage? Does the baby just come out, or does someone go in there and get it... or do they cut the mother open??.. Me and my friend were talking about it, cause one of my friends did have a miscarriage, and we were wondering how they got the baby out. We don't want to ask her, cause she jsut got over the depression and stuff from it, and we do not want her to get depressed again... but we are wayyy curious

Ok.. i have been wondering this for a while

I think the body naturally "flushes" it out. I'm not sure though.
-
it depends on how far along the baby is. My poor nieghbour had a miss at 8.5 months and was in hospital over a week. That was a very sad time around here.

Sometimes the whole fetus will come out, sometimes only 'parts'. Either way you still should go to the doctor's to make sure everything is out, including the placenta etc.
-
As was said, it really depends on how far along the pregnancy was. If it's early enough it can flush out naturally. If it's further along, the fetus may be expelled though a natural "labor". If not, it has to be removed. Sometimes they do something called a D&C (Dilation and Curettage). Basically, the uterus is forced open and the insides are scraped & sucked out.

Well, I just lost my erection forever.Here is a message to all women who have ever had a miscarriage or given birth, on behalf of my gender, I AM SO SORRY!!!!

A miscarriage early on in the pregnancy is like a heavy period, after that, if the baby stops moving, and its found to be dead they have to take it out, if a woman is very far into her pregnancy like my mum was at 8 months and the baby dies, then they have to induce labour and she has to deliver a dead baby - i think a lot of the horror stories you hear are a lot of crap...........and makes a very traumatic thing a whole lot worse!

In reply to: or given birth, on behalf of my gender, I AM SO SORRY!!!! Giving birth for me was lots of fun, I had 2 elective ceasareans, after i had went through 10 hours of labour only to have a cesarean anyway the first time - so i was awake the whole time they were cutting and prodding and pulling I spent a lot of my time joking with the doc, and waving to the medical students in the gallery above me when I had my last baby laffin and then the morphine drip pump.....WOAH......those hours after are a bit of a blur!!!

My mum's bub died just a day before she was due to give birth. We didn't know at the time, but they discovered this when she went in to hospital. My mum basically had to give birth the bub, it was such a sad occasion. My mum just knew the whole time that her bub was dead, but had to do all that work. She said it was more difficult than with a live bub. Maybe it's because I tried to crawl out and it helped? :grin:
-
awwwwww, that must have been awful for your mum......I just loved the feeling of the baby moving inside me, and i always worried when it hadn't moved for a while.........I can only imagine how hard it must be to give birth and not have the joy of a little life afterwards
-
I know a woman who had a still birth and didn't know it until she gave birth. I know quite a few women who have had miscarriages. It's quite common today, I think it's like one in every three pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. I had one 5 years ago, but I wasn't even aware that I was pregnant...I was only a little over a month along, so it was all expelled through a "heavy period".
-
It was tough on my parents. The umbilical cord had wrapped around her (the bub) and cut off it's circulation. Mum said that she felt it moving quite a bit the last few days, then the last day it didn't move at all.It was quite some time ago now, we've all moved on thankfully. It does happen quite often, but I imagine it still just as difficult even knowing how frequently miscarrages occur.

my mum had 2 c sections the one with me i wus an emergency, because i wus 3 months early and my mum at first thought she had peed, and they didnt have time to give my mum the pain meds or w/e they do and she wus joking with the doc the whole time, same as when she had her spinal tap
