How long will miscarriage pain last?

For my close friend, the physical cramping was really intense for about 3 to 5 days, almost like a very heavy period. It started getting better after a week, but the emotional pain takes much longer to heal. Just be gentle with yourself.

Physical cramping and bleeding generally subside within 7 to 14 days. However, if you experience extremely severe pain, heavy bleeding that soaks a pad in an hour, or fever, please contact your doctor immediately as these require urgent medical evaluation.

The heavy cramping lasted about 4 days for me, and then it became a dull ache for another week. Using a warm hot water bag on my tummy and taking the pain meds prescribed by my doctor really helped. Please take all the rest you need right now.

My gynaecologist told me that mild to moderate cramping is expected for about 10 days as the uterus shrinks back to its normal size. She advised me to monitor the bleeding closely and avoid using tampons or menstrual cups during this period to prevent infection.
