Miscarriage

Just had a D&C.. The doctor thought it was better then letting the mc pass on its own... because i was bleeding a lot.. I was about 4 weeks..  He did not give me antibiotics just pain killers for the cramps. What should i expect for recovery... I'm a lil nervous .. i hope things will be ok

They usually only give you antibiotics thru an IV during the surgery, not afterwards unless you get an infection. As for recovery, you will probably bleed and cramp for one week (i did) and you might see a few blood clots but its nothing to worry about, its a good thing it means your bleeding is stopping.  And i got my period back 5 & 1/2 weeks after the d&c. Im sorry for your loss! My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage and d&c, i know its difficult.
