Thank you. Did you have a loss?

No. My SIL went for her first u/s and the baby didn't have a heartbeat Sad I'm trying to understand the physical part she'll have to go through... the emotional I can't even imagine.

it's d&c....... and it depends on if your dr thinks you'll m/c naturally or not. You'd have to discuss it with your dr

I found out on Weds and we were scheduled for Thursday. Of course, I had only had brown spotting up to the second we pulled into the parking lot of the surgery center....then I gushed.

My First was a B.O. so it ws 2 weeks just to be sure and see if i could mc naturally. the second was the next morning, probably could have had it that day but it was late in the afternoon.

Not necessarily. I had a D&E the day after our loss was confirmed at 9 weeks.

I agree I had 3 losses with 3 D & E's!

Its not always a D&C I had a D&E in the 2nd tri for medical reasons. Its a little more involved than a D&C.

My OB gave me the option of waiting for nature to take its course or having a D&E. I opted for a D&E a week after my appointment. The waiting was killing me.

Thanks for pointing this out. I was going to reply but I thought it would just come across bitchy.

I had two D&Cs and both times had to wait a few days (over the weekend the first time and over the christmas holiday last time).

And as a side note - I think it's wonderful that you're trying to be there for your SIL and thank you for not posting this on the MC/PL board or the TTCAL board - you'd be amazed at how many people do.

If you really want some insight, ideas, etc. as the PGAL or Parenting After Loss boards. Those women have 'been there' and are in a slightly better place to provide insight that the other two boards.

We found out on a Friday so we had to wiat until Monday morning. It sucked!

Well, I tried cytotec first so I ended up having a D&C about a week and a half after my loss. Decided to have it on a Friday, scheduled it for Monday.
