Going Through Miscarriage. Suffering From Bloating And Depression. Normal? How Long Will It Last?

I am going through a miscarriage and although I am still waiting for the current hcg levels and don t know how far along my pregnancy was, I am suffering two very extreme symptoms. The first is EXTREME bloating ...to the point where, suddenly 4-5 days ago when this started, it was noticeable and pregnant looking . My question is: is this normal? And, how long might this possibly last? My second question is regarding EXTREME depression I am feeling. I am reading this is normal, but I feel a huge sense of apathy and unexplainable sadness. My partner and I were not trying to conceive so I m not sure why the loss is feeling so great. Any thoughts? Comments, suggestions?

Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
Depression is very common during and abortion.
It will last for a couple of weeks after abortion.
Continue taking folic acid atleast for 3 months before you try again.
Have an active lifestyle. keep yourself busy which will help you to fight depression to some extent.
