I am so sorry!!! My heart aches for you:( You are in my prayers!
Thanks so much for your help & advice. I am still hoping my body will deal with it naturally. I lost a baby in May at about 8 weeks which took 2 weeks to miscarry so I am trying not to panic yet. I am worried about the ERPC/D&C as I do not react well to anaesthetic and would prob have to stay in overnight. That would mean leaving my 7 yr old Son also who I am squashing & squeezing & thanking God I have been blessed with him. I had also read about scarring which worries me as it may cause more problems in the long run. I am so desperate to have another baby. I can see the plus side of it all being over with. I really want that now. I have been constantly worried for 10 weeks that I was going to miscarry...now I know the baby has died I just want it over with. I did not like the sound of the tablet thing as again would mean being in hospital and it sounded too much like you were aborting it. Stupid, I know, coz it is already dead. Aaaghh!!! the pressure. I have spent the last few weeks praying not to bleed. Now I am praying to start bleeding.
hi.. 1st i would like to apologize for the rude nurse..they should really take sensitivity classes.. i'm VERY SORRY that ur going through this right now. it is very devestating i know. i don't know if u already went to the dr's or not and made a decision, but i personally would try and leave nature to take its course. i had a miscarriage in september, but i was only 5 or 6 weeks prego. nature took it's course with me. i had minor contractions and then the next day i passed the baby when i went to the bathroom. it was traumatic more so because i saw what looked like a sac hanging out of me due to being stuck! (sorry i know that was kindof gross) even tho it doesnt sound like something u want to go through, from my understanding the benefits in the long run are better. i read somewhere that too many d&c's or in ur case erpc's are not good for u and could eventually leave scar tissue. maybe i'm incorrect so please don't mark my words.
either way i send u a hug! and again i'm so sorry u had to go through this especially now around the holidays.. please try and keep ur head up and look foward to the next attempt u make to complete ur dream!!!! take care
I looked up what erpc was and it is basically the same thing as a d&c it seems! I like yourself had minimal spotting was suppose yo be 11 wks went in for ultrasound no heart neat baby had died around 8 weeks:( I am so sorry for what you are going through! I was fortunate enough to have excellent drs and nurses! Once I found out it had been dead for 2 weeks And I still had not passed it I new my decision immediately! They gave me the option to let nature take its course and go home or d/c!!! I wanted out then and there! I could not stand the thought of having to go home And sit and wait knowing what was in me and what I would go through emotionally if I had to do it at home:( I did the d&c they knocked me out with Good drugs And I woke up and It was done, just a little cramping and bleeding for a few days! Doing the d&c ensures everything's out usually your hcg level drops back off immediately mine did. Passing it naturaly some women don't pass it all and still need A d&c. That's what worked best for me I wouldn't change my decision for nothing! Praying for your health and emotional healing!
