Random question for STM who had PGAL..UPDATE!! WRONG BOARD

luvU2theMoon

I was talking to a Co-Worker about wanting to do natural birth. She told me i would be able to do it because i had a D&C with no meds and was fine...She said contractions and labor feel just like a D&C. Anyone a STM who had a D&C with out any meds? Can you compare the two?

 

WELL THIS IS EMBARRASSING! SORRY DONT KNOW HOW I GOT ON FEB BOARD!

Well, now I'm curious. Where did you have a D&C without meds? Because holy shit, that sounds painful.

This!

I had meds, and it was so painful even through the meds!

Weeellll let me tell you it was the worst clinic ever! It was an OB office that told me i would be fine with doing it in clinic and that it would cost a lot more to do it at the Hospital...so since i had no idea what it was and it was emotionally too much try and research my options i listened to them and it was intense! i had no warning of how it would feel and they used a huge needle to stick into my uterus to start contractions and then sucked everything out and i felt everything! I made it through with out it feeling like i was going to die or give up but it was definitely an intense feeling!

So in the end i just wanted to know if real contractions felt like that or if they were more intense or less since i had contractions on top of contractions for

I'm really sorry you went through that.

It's bad enough you had to experience a loss but then to make you go through that procedure without meds?!?  I'm so sorry.  I just can't imagine.

Well, even though you're an April mom... I never had a D&C but I did have two miscarriages and when I actually miscarried I went into full on labor even though I was only about 11 weeks along each time. And that labor was way more intense then the labor I experienced with my first child. Thing to remember, is that when you go into labor you have so many good hormones & endorphins & you're excited. It makes for an entirely different experience.

This. When I had my stillborn at 25 weeks they were really good about accomodating me with an epidural right away because I knew I didn't want more physical pain on top of the loss I was experiencing already.

(((Hugs))) OP and I'm sorry you went through that, that's horrible. :-(
