d/c :(

I went to get my results. Once again they scheduled an appointment for an abortion. They said my uterus measures 12cm and my sac suggest 6 weeks but its empty. I honestly dont want to do the d/c I feel like theres still hope for my baby.

kns494 not necessary she could have a missed miscarriage and it may not come away quick so I would wait but when I had a missed miscarriage I didn't bleed or pains I found out at my 12week scan my baby died at 6-8weeks so I would wait until 2weeks

I would wait. Cause if your going to miscarry it wouldve happened already.. your child probably didnt drop into the sack yet. Sometimes for some people they dont drop till 2 months later but by then they will assume u have ectopic pregnancy but then again everyone is different I didnt see my baby in a sack until I was 2 months. ..

I wouldn't do it! When I went in for my first ultrasound my sac was measuring at 7 weeks but they didn't find a baby or a heartbeat. I am now 21 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy!

I had to have a d&c my doctor didn't give me the option. My baby just didn't grow   I didn't have any signs at all just when we went for the u/s the tech seen it. Then my doctor had to do a biopsy for any cancer.

I had a missed miscarriage found out at my12week scan but I went threw a d&c because i carried the baby since 6-8weeks  but I would wait another 2weeks or a week and requested a scan to see and then if there's no change I would have a d&c as it can take a long time I had the tablet first in hospital and then I went back 2 weeks later and I had tissue left so I had a d&c good luck hun think positive

DONT DO IT they didn't find my baby till 7 weeks and that's after going to 2 different doctors now I'm almost 9 with a healthy heart beat!!! That litter ally just happened to me!!! They claimed I had an eptopic but I DONT! I even spot occationally light pink no cramps that's 100% normal as well! They even said very mild cramps are sometimes normal....just wait and if you notice terrible cramps or RED blood go to er. But if I was you I'd pray very hard And I'll pray for you too...just let your body and God take care of you. God bless you and your baby...

My old manager said they tried giving her a pill or something to help after they thought she miscarried. But she refused and she now has her healthy baby girl. I would wait if you feel like there is still hope.

Ive had no cramping or bleeding just my spine hurting last night. I wish I could post my ultrasound pics on her. The first one looks like theres 2 sacs. I was thinking about going to the hospital and see what they say.

I hope everything is OK! I went through a D&C and I wish I would have waited. I had slight bleeding that stopped after an hour and no pain or cramping, but I still wonder if I would have waited maybe things could've changed. Just give it a week or two, you still have hope! Goodluck!

No, wait!  My baby didn't come out in the ultrasound until I was 9 weeks, the first time they did an ultrasound they said I was most likely to have an ectopic pregnancy and they had to remove it but I told them I wanted to wait and sure enough I went back for my next visit and there she was, my little bud..don't give up hope!

I think a couple weeks would be ok bc is not mandatory u can fo it naturally but not always go to a second doctor and tell them its your first appt dont bring up the other doctor and see what they have to say when they know nothing about the situation they have to see it themselvesvluke i said u sound very normal to me are u having heavy bleeding and pain??? Thats the real question if not try to relax and see a dif doctor in like 2 weeks

You have the option to let your body miscarry naturally. Dilation and curetage is only medically necessary to remove excess tissue AFTER you have a miscarriage. I had a molar pregnancy 4 years ago and I decided to let my body pass the tissue naturally before I got the d&c. The only risk is infection if tissue is left in your uterus after your miscarriage.

I would wait a couple weeks and get a second opinion unless u have a lot of pain and or bleeding seeung the sac but no baby can be completely normal it is also why some women dont go in until they are farther around 12 weeks i say wait a couple weeks unless u feel something is wrong....and find a different doctor!
