how long does it take your uterus to open for miscarriage? ?

Q: I was at the hospital last night from 5 to 2 in the morning with bleeding and signs of miscarriage. I am 6 weeks 5 days today. The baby was attached on my uterus walls lower than what it should have been and the heart beat was 73{normal is 150} I was going to get discharged when i started to bleed again and the doc took a sac out of me. he said it can either be my baby or nothing. Im still bleeding and cramping but not clotting alot. Has this ever happened to you or anyone you know? words of encouragement? I will see my obgyn tomarrow

A: Try to rest and relax–I know it’s hard. If the miscarriage is to progress –It is your cervix not uterus that dilates(opens)for miscarriage–but you are so earlier in pregnancy that it wouldn’t need to dilate if at all —it would be like a bad period.Try to be positive and hopefully this will pass and everything will be fine. Good Luck
