i am a 28yr old female who went to the emergency room on the 18th of december.. i had been at work and had felt very sick all day. when i woke up that morning to get ready for work, i felt like i had to go to the bathroom really bad but nothing would come out..by the time i got to work the pain had gotten worse and i was still having severe pressure from the hips all the way down my legs..6hours later i went to the bathroom at work and something odd had fell into my hands..20minutes later i was at the emergency room...they said it looked like a possible miscarriage..i got the pathology report today and it says

pertinent history
possible abortion


gross examination
membranous tissue: sac shaped
number of fragments......1
measurements.....8.5x4x0.3cm

diagnosis
