Hi,
Miscarriage in the early weeks can often be mistaken for being a late or normal period. In such cases, the woman shows symptoms common to that of a period such as spotting or bleeding, backaches and mild cramps.
These symptoms can soon progress to a full-fledged period bleed, accompanied by severe cramps and blood clots. If you are well into your pregnancy cycle, you may also go into a phase of early labor.
Some cases of miscarriage in pregnancy, the woman may not experience any pain or bleeding and may completely be oblivious to the fact that she has experienced a fetal loss. It is only during a routine scan that the fetal loss is acknowledged.
This is called a silent miscarriage or a missed miscarriage. Bleeding per rectum may be not due to miscarriage don't worry. Check for colitis or hemorrhoids or fissure. Please consult your physician/gynecologist they will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
