Are miscarriage contractions the same as labour contractions?

When i was 15 i had a miscarriage at 16 weeks. The pain lasted for 6 hours before i went to hospital, then bled for a further 6 hours before being rushed in for a D&C due to a blood hemorrhage. I just wondered whether this is similar pain to full term labour, can i use this as a guideline to the pain? I think it was quite bearable but didn't really have the attachment to the baby in which many mums say they do during a MC so maybe this made it easier??
