Confirm carefully
Use the clinical history, ultrasound and other tests when needed before finalising the diagnosis.
From first questions to first cries.
Compassionate assessment, explanation and follow-up after miscarriage or an uncertain early-pregnancy finding.
Clear information matters when the news itself is difficult.
Care may involve confirming the diagnosis, discussing expectant, medical or surgical management when appropriate, addressing pain and bleeding, and planning emotional and physical follow-up.
Use the clinical history, ultrasound and other tests when needed before finalising the diagnosis.
Explain reasonable management options, benefits, uncertainties and what to expect.
Provide clear instructions for heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, fainting or worsening illness.
Discuss follow-up, recovery, emotional support and future pregnancy questions.
These answers are general. Individual advice depends on the clinical history and assessment.
No. When dates or findings are uncertain, repeat ultrasound or blood testing may be needed before a final diagnosis.
Depending on the situation, options can include waiting, medicine or a procedure. The choice should reflect clinical safety and informed preference.
Seek urgent help for very heavy bleeding, fainting, severe pain, breathlessness, fever or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Most early miscarriages are not caused by ordinary activity. Ask the clinician about the likely explanation in your situation.
Timing is individual. Physical recovery, investigations when indicated and emotional readiness can all be discussed at follow-up.
