The sensations could range from a crampy period to strong wavelike contractions. It will likely last a few hours of being more intense. It could be very painful. Just keep relaxing into it and breathe. I know this will be difficult and not what you want to do, but it it helpful. You can do it. Have someone there with you making sure you are ok. Keep an eye out that you are not bleeding excessively. ​

Miscarriage symptoms include:

• Vaginal bleeding- heavy bleeding or light spotting (often pinkish white), constant or irregular. Bleeding is often the first sign of miscarriage, however, bleeding in the first trimester can also be normal with a healthy pregnancy.  Note that bleeding with pain increases the likelihood that it's a miscarriage. 
• Pain- abdominal cramps, pelvic cramps, stomach pain, or a persistent, dull ache in your low back. Pain may start before or after bleeding.
• Passing blood clots or gray colored tissue
• Sudden loss of pregnancy symptoms; not feeling pregnant anymore

Determining a miscarriage from a healthy pregnancy can be tricky just based on symptoms. Many miscarriage signs and symptoms can be normal in a healthy pregnancy. Please contact your healthcare provider for help on the next steps. One woman's physical experience of a miscarriage can be very different from another woman's experience.
