Well, my 8 week u/s was planned for today but with uncanny timing, I miscarried last night. The doctor said development stopped at about 6 weeks.
I am scheduled for a D&C tomorrow. Wondering if D&C is common practice this early on? My doctor seemed to prefer it over "waiting it out."


Re: I sadly join you girls...
I am so sorry for your loss.
I had a missed miscarriage at about 8 weeks and I had a D&C the next day (we discovered the miscarriage at an u/s appointment). My doctor insisted on a D&C because she was worried about bleeding.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH.
Hugs! I am so sorry for your loss.
I had 2 m/c and both were natural.
So sorry to hear of your loss. (((((((HUGS)))))))
I had a D&C with a blighted ovum at 8 wks (developed til 6 wks). It helped me get things over with and move on..
So sorry for your loss :-(
It depends, if the doc doesn't feel like you will pass it on your own or completely. I had a d&c with the first and just had a natural. The D&C is painless. If I were you, I'd ask to have the tissue tested for chromosomal abnormalities. Some, doc don't do this on the first loss but you can request it.
Let me know if you need anything. We are here for you.
