No heartbeat
I found out earlier today my baby has no heartbeat and has been gone for 2 weeks now I have to make the decision on if I'm going to miscarry naturally or do a D&C and I would like to know you ladies experiences with D&Cs.
I have miscarried 3 times at 8 weeks. The first time I had a D&C. It was probably easier than waiting for the pain and bleeding that accompanied my 3rd miscarriage. With my 2nd one, my body absorbed the tissue. All 3 times the dr looked for heartbeat twice a week apart. Emotionally, it draining all three times. I'm very sorry for your loss.
I went thru the same! I was 9 w baby had been dead since 6 w the Dr was very insensitive! I chose to do a natural miscarraige. It was devastating and the cramps were bad but I had support from my bf. A DNC would be quick and u won't have to see baby or clots.
keep your head up everything will be okay I miscarried 6 months ago now I'm pregnant and healthy just try to keep your head up sweetheart everything will be fine overtime
You ladies who have had D&Cs for miscarriages, do they check for a heart beat just to make sure and if they don't.. could I request they do?
I have thought about naturally having a natural miscarriage but then I realized that's only because I would want to get an ultrasound in hopes that the last one was wrong and my baby was fine but I know that's not the case and I have to face reality. I know I lost my baby for a reason but it's a difficult reality to accept.
Im sorry for your loss. I haven't had a miscarriage but I have had two d&c's because of uterine polyps. It was an outpatient surgery, I got put under, and was totally fine within a few days. I was a little sore and bled a bit but it really wasn't that bad. Do what you think is best, but that was my experience.
Sorry for your loss i miscarriage in April and thought the d&c was the best because i knew everything would come out all at once but it went great for me but keep God first now I'm 20weeks so just pray and when its time God will deliver your blessing
I decided on a D&C... I'm not handling the loss very well, this is my first pregnancy and I figure it'll be less traumatic for me to have it done than to wait until the miscarriage to come naturally. Thank you ladies for your kind words and support, it means so much to me. I never thought it would be so hard to lose a baby I only carried for a few weeks but this is the most difficult situation in my life.
Am sorry for ur lost .. this happened to me too.. it was my first pregnacy.. on oct 10 2013 was my first ultra sound.. the doc said they couldnt find a heart beat.. i was so upset.. they ask me the same question soo i let it come naturally.. the bby came down on the 25 of oct.. so its up to you
Sorry For Ur Lost. You'll Never Forget About Ur Precious Baby But With Time It Will Be A Little Easier. I've Miscarried Twice And Both Times Passed The Fetal Tissue Naturally. If U Pass Naturally You'll Be Given An Ultrasound To Ensure Everything Has Passed And If So A D&C Is Not Necessary. My Doctor didnt Want To Perform A D&c She Even Canceled And Told Me To Give My Body More Time And YeaH It Sux Waiting Bc It Feels Like U Cant Move On Mentally Until Ur Body Moves On Physically But Honestly I Dnt Regret It I'm Glad M Body Was Able To Pass It Naturally No Surgery Or Antibiotics Needed.
I had to make the same decision & I chose to let nature take its course but either way yu will have to have a d&c to make sure all of the tissue is out. when I finally did miscarry five days after they told me, the pain was horrible, they actually put me to sleep during the d&c because I couldn't take the pain. time heals all wounds things will get better & I'm sorry for your loss!
Sorry for you loss in June 2013 I had a missed miscarriage at 9 wks I choose d&c I bleed one day and the next day I was out walking around the zoo with my nephew to try and keep my mind of losing my angel. I was in no pain.
I mc at 5 weeks I wanted natural. I rather avoid surgery and medicine. It wasnt traumatizing at that moment but the contractions hurt and it was alot blood. The contractions were the worst pain ive ever felt.its like I got a glimpse to what birth would be a little like. Days later for about 3 months I was depressed. Im sorry what u will go through,but remember god never gives us situationa we cannot handle and things happen for a reason.
The same thing happen to me 4 years ago i ws only 16 and i would choose d&c again becaus if u let it happen naturally you dnt know when it would happen n that would be a dramatic experience. Am sorry for your lost i know how you feel took me a while to get over the lost of my little angel. But remember he will always be in your heart. Good luck!

I miscarried in May of last year. I tried to have the baby naturally & carried my baby for a month after he/she passed away. I tried the pill & had everything happen; the contractions, bleeding, but my baby had never came through. My doctor then recommended even more than before to have a D&C. & even though I didnt want to, in the end it was the best choice! I did bleed for a few weeks after but that'll happen regardless. Over all, the D&C was a good, easy way to go through my hard time. I am sorry for your loss, prayers!!
I'm so sorry for your loss the same exact thing just happened to me I found out my twins didn't have a heart beat on 1/22/14 and had the D&C on 1/25/14 it went good far as the D&C goes..
I'm 11 weeks but by the growth of the baby they're guessing the baby has been deceased for 2 weeks.
