What size should the blood clots be when having a miscarriage?
I don't know about others but I had several blood clots that were the size of my entire hand. At one point as I was getting up out of the bathtub, I pushed my arms down on the sides of the tub for leverage and felt like I passed my liver! Talk about shocking! I thought to myself at one point "can one lose this much blood without dying?". The hospital I went to said "Just ride it out until the end. If you faint come back but otherwise you're fine". I have always been one to not want to bother people. I felt like I was annoying the staff at the hospital so I didn't ask the questions or get all the info I needed. Don't do the same! Ask a million questions, take as much time as you need, and don't let hospital staff brush you off. They are supposed to be here to help and educate us so don't be afraid to ask them to do their job. Anyone going through a miscarriage, unfortunately lots of women understand your pain. Reach out and talk to a group of women going through the same thing. Best of luck and don't give up. Lots of women who have one or more miscarriages can go on to have many healthy babies.

Differences between ordinal scale and nominal scale?
I've included a couple of links which should explain better the differences among the four levels of measurement: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio. The nominal level can be thought of as the "name" level. I'll give you an example of nominal level of measurement. Perhaps you are collecting data on the types of cars that go through an intersection. You classify the vehicles passing by as trucks, cars and motorcycles and count how many of each pass by. Ordinal is the "order" level, where some natural order of data is possible. The difference between measurements has no physical meaning. An example of ordinal level of measurement. A hospital asks in the emergency room, for patients to describe their pain on a level of 1 to 10, which 10 being the most severe. As given in the first link, it is interesting that there is not complete agreement on this system of classification.

How do you rate your pain on a scale of zero to ten?
That's always a tough one, since everyone is different. My pain scale is likely a lot different than yours, and vice-versa. I've lived with high levels of pain for so many years that most of what I feel normally would likely be at least uncomfortable for most people, excruciating for others. The easiest way is to chart it on scale, and I've added some links below to help you out. Figure that on the scale, Zero is no pain, and Ten is you're either climbing the walls in so much pain that you can't function or move, or you're screaming your head off. Of course not everyone reacts the same way to higher levels of pain. The key I use for a 10 is when a I get pain that's strong enough that it leaves me barely functional, e.g., unable to walk normally, move, eat, breathe, etc. Pain tolerance also increases as you experience higher levels of pain for longer periods, so the scale is relative to your own pain tolerance level. As I said, what's excruciating for some people is just an irritant to me or others. What you need to do is to think of the worst pain you've ever experienced, and note that as your "10" for the pain scale. Any other pain you experience, rate it against that. If you've never had any major injuries or pain, you're lucky, but everyone has some level of pain that they've experienced. Again, use your highest level of pain that you've experienced as your personal "10" for the scale, and adjust anything else accordingly. Later down the road you'll likely experience something worse, and that becomes your new standard for the upper pain scale, and everything else should be judged against that.
