Answer

Not really. If you are bleeding, you should see a doctor. It could be nothing and it could be serious.

Most likely with a miscarriage you will have pain in your stomach and the blood will be chunky, but not always. I'd see a doctor if I were bleeding any amount at all, with or without pain.
