Miscarraiages ?'s
I am sorry to keep asking these questions and please don't read or answer if you think it will disturb you.
I had my second ultrasound which just confirmed that my baby did die at 8+6.
I still have no signs of bleeding and very little pain. If I don't miscarry naturally by Friday I'll be scheduled for D&C. Have any of you been able to carry naturally. This Friday I would be 12+3, so that gives my body 3 1/2 weeks. I stopped taking prenatals at 11+1 when I found out. How bad is a D&C and how long will I be in the hospital? Could I go to work 2 days later?

It wouldn't of cost me anything , I didn't know it was an option till after . Talk to your ob or doctor that's performing it before they put you on any medicine or put you to sleep and tell them you would like to see or burry the remains . I don't recomend telling a nurse they might forget I'd tell the doctor performing it
I wish I could afford to do that Paige. But I really want to be able to see the baby even if it's only an inch to say goodbye and I love you.
I know this may not be the norm . But you are able to ask for the babies remains to burry the baby and have a proper goodbye .
The medicine does something weird I guess and he didn't like it..
I didn't even look at the baby, they're too small at that point, in my opinion... Plus, I was in too much pain, to the point where I was throwing up. :/ I didn't go with the d&c because I wanted to be able to try again sooner and I was told there was a chance that I would have a harder time getting pregnant in the future. I made my old man look at the embryo and I think it may have scarred him for life.. this may be TMI or graphic but the tissue was basically falling apart as with the embryo, I looked one time and it was just tissue and then after I actually did pass the embryo and I knew I had, I refused to look...
Maybe you can speak with your Doctor about it..

Thanks, why was the doctor happy about the medicine they gave you. I actually wish I could do that because it seems like it may not happen naturally and I would like to see my little tiny baby so we could say goodbye. I think it's horrible that they just suck it out of you like a piece of trash.! I saw this woman in the miscarriage section saying she asked would she be able to see her baby in one piece and say goodbye and they said no because we suck it out with a vacuum. I think that's so insensitive and disgusting. I should have the right to see my baby.
I miscarried naturally and then ended up having to have a d&c because my levels wouldn't go down (hcg) and I was on IV fluid, my doctor had like 2 emergency c-sections before he got to me and then they gave me pain medicine, brought me into the OR, put me to sleep and then all I remember is waking up in recovery, I guess I was out for about 45 minutes, I had to stay for another 45min to an hour and then I was allowed to get dressed and leave, I bled for 2-3 days and then I was fine.. my situation was similar, I miscarried sometime at like 9 weeks but my body didn't let me know until I was around 12 weeks, the ER gave me medicine to start the rest of the process of miscarrying and my Doctor wasn't happy about it so I had to quit taking it. So sorry for your loss. :(
When I had a d&c I had the procedure and then I was in recovery for a few minutes then I went back to my room, they made me eat and drink something then I was able to leave. The d&c only took about 30 minutes. Hope all goes well for you! Sorry for your loss.
I left the hospital an hour after the procedure . Didnt your doctor go over what would happen with you ? I would ask him to explain it to you . My ob performed it on me in the hospital
Honestly I had a dnc with my last pregnancy close to the second trimester and baby wouldn't miscarry so I had to have a dnc to prevent any infections and I was upset at first . They will put you to sleep and you will not remember it when you wake up . You will feel out of it for a few hours but Ireturned to work the next day they ddon't usually say you can't because your bleeding will be like a period . Just of course take it easy but I didn't have any restriction on what I could or couldn't do .
d&c is a (excuse my language)a piece of cake it does not hurt and it's easy.they put you to sleep and then wake you up in a couple of hours later there's no pain other than just a little bleeding.but that's all really no worries
