If miscarried should you go to the doctor's immediately?

Asked by Wiki User

If you mean a very early miscarriage with no known cause, then going to the doctor sooner will only be a help for your own piece of mind when the pregnancy is far enough along for the baby's heartbeat to be heard. There's usually nothing that can be done. If the miscarriage was from a known cause such as an autoimmune disease or other factors, seeing a doctor early would be important. In either case,if seeing your doctor makes you less worried, then that would be a good thing.

It is an anxious time when pregnant after a miscarriage, but remember that most women do miscarry at some time as it is very common. Even if you start bleeding again, it can settle and things continue as normal even if you have a history of miscarriage
