Cons of Naturally Miscarrying
Spontaneous bleeding:
Once you being to actively miscarry the bleeding can last up to two weeks. In various amounts and sizes.
Cramping:
The cramping can be more intense and last longer since your body is trying to clean itself out.
Waiting to actively miscarry:
Though you had a confirming ultrasound and have chose to wait to naturally miscarry, sometimes your body is slow to kick in. Waiting can feel like an eternity, especially when you are emotionally upset.

Supportive Story: When I had a confirmed miscarriage at my 10 week appointment my body had not started to actively miscarry. Had I known at 8 weeks and chose to wait to naturally miscarry that would have been a 2 1/2 week wait! (Miscarriage #1)
Important to mention
Every individual miscarriage experience is different. Please keep in contact with your doctor. They should tell you what to expect and when to call them.
This is especially important when you are further along in your pregnancy or have not begun to actively miscarry.
