lost the baby, having suction d&c this afternoon

Today I was 9w3d pregnant, had an u/s and there was no heartbeat. They believe the baby died two weeks ago. I have not had any spotting/bleeding so I"m having a suction d&c this afternoon...i don't know what to do, im numb. this was my 4th pregnancy and we have 1 beautiful daughter, 3 miscarriages.  Why us again!?!?!? Seriously again!?! Hasn't our family been through enuogh with my dad's cancer and then when we all have something to look forward to it comes crashing down again. what the F**K! I"m so angry and sad and fustrated...now what? I"m an OR nurse and do suction d&c's all the time but what do i expect after? will i be crappy? will i bleed a lot? any info would help!

thanks

I have had 2 D&C's. I had some cramping afterwards but nothing close to a natural mc. It was outpatient and got to go home about an hour after waking up from it. Im sorry this is happening to you. But I wish you the best.

And the bleeding I had was moderate. Nothing heavy. I forgot to mention that.

I'm so sorry to hear that, I've had 7 m/c and no kids.. I'm currently going through a m/c now.. So I know all the pain your going through. Now about the d&c I decided against it so I'm not sure of the side effects I'm sorry.
