Period versus Miscarriage
Many people can mistake a miscarriage for a menstrual period because some of the symptoms like cramping or bleeding can be similar. However, there are factors to help you distinguish between these two conditions:
– Symptoms: Large clots, passing fluids, and worsening or serious abdominal or back pain can be typical of a miscarriage.
– Symptom duration: Issues caused by a miscarriage often last longer and become worse than a period.
– Time: Many people often mistake a miscarriage in the early weeks of pregnancy. Nevertheless, this can be less likely after 8 weeks during pregnancy. [3]
