Healing After Miscarriage: What Postpartum Recovery Really Looks Like

No one prepares you for this.
Not the bleeding—but the hollow feeling. The quiet that comes after.

When a pregnancy ends in miscarriage, your body still undergoes postpartum recovery—even when there’s no baby in your arms. And yet, very few people talk about it.

If you’re feeling broken, confused, or quietly hurting—you’re not alone.
And you are certainly not invisible.

After a miscarriage, your uterus contracts as it returns to its normal size. Bleeding may last for days or even weeks, resembling lochia after childbirth. You might experience cramping, clotting, nausea, fatigue, night sweats, or breast tenderness. These aren’t just symptoms. They’re the physical echoes of loss—your body processing something real and intense.

If your miscarriage involved a D&C procedure, the healing process may take even longer. And during this time, your body deserves the same level of postpartum care as it would after a full-term birth. That means rest, hydration, iron-rich foods, and gentle movement when possible.

At Putchi, we honour this quiet kind of recovery with soft postpartum underwear and gentlewear that supports your body without pressing where it hurts. Because even in grief, you deserve comfort.

But what’s even harder to see—and harder to talk about—is the emotional aftermath.

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
Some days you’ll feel okay. Other days, a date on the calendar or a passing ad might knock the wind out of you.

And that’s okay.

In India, miscarriage is still often shrouded in silence. Many women are expected to move on quietly, without space to speak or mourn. But this is your story. Your loss. Your right to grieve.

You can cry.
You can speak your baby’s name.
You can talk—or stay silent.
You get to heal in your way, on your time.

At Putchi, we understand that postpartum isn’t always joyful.
Sometimes, it’s made of quiet strength, invisible pain, and the slow, deliberate rebuilding of body and spirit. We design our products not just for growing bellies—but for the stillness after.

From postpartum underwear that doesn’t dig into healing skin, to loungewear that feels like a soft exhale, our pieces are for every kind of motherhood—even the kind shaped by loss.

So if you’re walking the long road of healing after miscarriage, know this:

Your loss is valid.
Your body is brave.
Your heart is allowed to take its time.

And Putchi is with you—in the grief, in the grace, and in the slow return to you.
