Prompt 15: The Miscarriage Aftercare Plan

When to use it

You're experiencing a miscarriage (or have just been told you're having one). You need an immediate, hour-by-hour plan for the next 7 days — physical, emotional, and logistical.

The Prompt

I'm having a miscarriage. [CURRENT SITUATION — e.g., "I just started bleeding heavily at home" / "I was told at my ultrasound that the baby stopped growing at 9 weeks (missed miscarriage)" / "I'm in the ER right now" / "I just passed the baby at home"].

I'm [N] weeks pregnant. This is my [N] pregnancy. [PREVIOUS PREGNANCY HISTORY IF RELEVANT].

I need:
1. The next 24 hours, hour by hour:
   - What to expect physically
   - When to go to the ER (red flags)
   - What to ask for in terms of pain management
   - What to do with [tissue / remains] if relevant
2. The next 7 days:
   - What physical recovery looks like
   - What emotional waves are normal
   - What I should NOT do (don't "just get over it")
   - What I should do (rest, eat, hydrate, grieve)
3. The decisions I may need to make this week:
   - Natural management vs. medication vs. D&C
   - Genetic testing on tissue
   - Time off work
4. What to tell people (partner, family, employer)
5. How to talk to my body about this (because the body feels like the enemy right now)
6. Resources for [COUNTRY/REGION] (loss support groups, hotlines, financial help for burial if desired)

Important: I'm not okay. I don't need reassurance. I need a plan.

Example output

*"Next 24 hours: heavy bleeding with clots is normal. Go to ER if you soak a pad in <1 hour for 2+ hours, fever over 100.4°F, severe pain not controlled by ibuprofen + heating pad, or feeling faint. Pain: 800mg ibuprofen every 8 hrs + heating pad + warm bath. Tissue: if you pass anything, you can flush (most do) or collect for testing (place in a clean container, refrigerate, call your OB about pickup). Next 7 days: rest, eat iron-rich foods, drink water, cancel non-essential commitments. Decisions: don't rush — most losses complete naturally in 1-2 weeks. Talk to your OB about all three options. Tell people: 'We lost the pregnancy. I need [specific thing] this week.' Resources: Postpartum Support International (PSI), Pregnancy Loss Support, local hospital's bereavement program."*
