I was 9 weeks pregnant today when I started gushing blood. We hadn't had an ultrasound yet because my Dr had a new machine on order, so I was scheduled for one in a week. My cervix was closed this morning and there wasn't membranes or tissue in my blood he said, so he sent me for an ultrasound which showed nothing was in my uterus. The tech said "the good news is I won't have to have a D&C" but my doctor called me later after blood work and recommended I have a D&C tomorrow, especially with the holidays on Thursday. I am still bleeding pretty heavily and have some moderate cramping in my back and abdomen, so I don't know if I should have the D&C or not. I'd probably rather do things naturally, but what have your experiences been with natural or D&C? Our insurance is really bad and won't cover anything maternity for a few more months (wait period). I need to recover from this quickly as my husband doesn't have any time left off work for the year and we have a two year old and her birthday coming up on Monday.
