First of all I would like to say I am SO sorry for your loss.I would depend on how far along you are.I bled for a week almost like a long period. I heard it is okay to bleed for a couple of weeks. If any longer you should check with your doctor to make sure all is going well. Sometimes a woman needs a D&C. If you need additional support or want to talk more you can visit this message board I set up for women who have had a pregnancy or infant loss. Right now our membership is small but we are loving, knowledgeable, and we now how to have fun (when appropriate). http://alovingjourney.freeforums.org/
