D & C

Suzanne214

So I have to have a D & C tomorrow and am so nervous. I want to know that after I have this done, am I still going to feel nauseas or will it go away?

I don't think this all hit me yet. I am in denial once again. This is the 3rd miscarriage and feel numb to it all. I don't know.

I am so nervous to wait there without water or something to eat with all this nauseas, What do I do>

I am anticipating the worst. I am very grateful that I have a 6 year old daughter.Some people cannot have any so I am happy with my daughter.?

I'm sorry.  I hope tomorrow goes ok for you.  I would rec the Pregnancy Loss board, those girls are amazing and very helpful.

Even though you already have a daughter, it still does not take away from the pain of this being your third loss. I am sorry you are going through this, and I wish you the best.

I'm so sorry. From what I can remember of my emergency D&C, it wasn't bad physically. I was out like a light and then woke up a little groggy. We got all the way home, though I don't remember the drive, before I got sick. I remember being awake and "with it" enough to ask DH to get something for me that was in the car and then I threw up while he was out there. Odd memory, but I fell asleep right after and didn't have any side effects afterwards. Please don't be nervous. Maybe stay busy today so you won't be as likely to dwell on it.

My heart goes out to you for your loss.  Take joy in your beautiful daughter, allow yourself to grieve as much as you need to, and know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I had a miscarriage about 6 months ago. It was a missed mc, and I was still experiencing morning sickness and other symptoms.

The symptoms went away soon after my D&C. The actual procedure is quick and painless, as is the recovery.

I am really late responding to this, so I hope you still read it.  I am very sorry for your loss.  I had a d&c this past May.  I was 8wk along and diagnosed with a blighted ovum, but my body thought it was pregnant and I had all of the symptoms.  The d&c was the easiest part of the whole m/c, but it did provide closure to a point.  I went in about 9 am, and they hooked me up to and IV for fluids.  Once I was hooked up, they allowed DH to come back and sit with me.  I was really anxious, so they gave me meds for that, and once I was wheeled back for the procedure, they gave me something and I was out for about 15 minutes.  I woke up a little groggy, and a little crampy, and DH was right there by me.  I woke up pretty quickly, and they asked me to drink some coke, they gave me a shot for nausea (just in case) and I dressed and went home.  On the way, we stopped at McDonald's and had lunch.

 I was a little crampy for the next few days, they gave me pain killers, but never needed more that tylenol.  I spotted a little for a few days, nothing even remotely like AF, and my moist heating pad worked miracles.

Rest for a few days afterward.  I found that the more I moved around the first couple of days the worse the cramps got.  I hope this helped.  It really is not so bad.  Good luck to you, and again I am so sorry you have to go through this.
