My quick back-story - I started lightly spotting over the weekend and went into the doctor for it on Monday. The baby only measured 6w2d with no heartbeat I should have been 11.5 weeks. After finding out my I started bleeding more and by Wednesday it was like a light period, although my ultrasound on Wednesday showed the baby was still there. I ended up having a D&C yesterday (Thursday) because I wanted to move on.
Well after my D&C I stopped bleeding and since then I have only had really really light spotting. I probably wouldn't even notice it if I wasn't wearing a pad expecting the worst. Is this someone anyone else has experienced? Should I expect to start bleeding sometime soon? Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Re: Not bleeding after a D&C
Two things first:
1. Your LO is adorable!
2. I'm SO very sorry for your loss.
With my D&C, on Oct. 8, I had very light spotting afterwards too. It only last about 4 days. Everyone is different though. Some do have very heavy bleeding, while others, like us, just have spotting.
Missed m/c 10/25/10 @ 11.5 weeks
I'm so sorry for your loss, I was 12w1d when I found out the same thing. This happened to me last time, and I went in for a D&C. I bleed a lot afterwards at the hospital, but then I just spotted lightly and then I had nothing for 8 weeks. You might just spot for another week, You may not bleed much more than that. I'm sorry for your loss, and best of luck.
