My co-worker is on her way to the hospital. She discovered a blighted ovum at her 11 week appt last week and had decided to wait it out rather than have a d&c. After going through 2 pads in an hour I made her call her DH and go to the hospital. Ironically, this happened just after my own (2nd) m/c. We had been so excited at being pg together. ![]()
Just for my own information - if this happened to you (going to ER after trying to miscarry naturally), how did they handle it? She's scared they are going to do surgery. Any info would be helpful - I'm not going to relay it to her, I'm just worried.
Re: T&P Request - plus questions
I'm so sorry you and your friend are going through this. I don't really have much advice since I was able to miscarry my blighted ovum naturally. I know many women on here have had the D&C and said it was very simple so hopefully even if she has the surgery it will be ok. T&Ps.
I landed myself in the ER after spewing blood and tissue from my hooha and having the worst contractions imaginable (don't know if it's "normal" but it was like I was actually in labor with the pain and very regular, very strong contractions). When I went to the ER they did a curettage. It's basically a cleaning out process without the surgery of a d&c. The used a tong like thing to just pull out as much tissue as they could get to. The rest of the tissue, I passed later at home (am still passing occasional clots and having some very light bleeding after 2w1d).
I am so sorry for both you and your co-worker. In the peaceful, happy world I have concocted in my head, people like us don't even exist. There is no pregnancy loss and there is no hurt of loosing a child. I'm sorry that my peaceful, happy world is not our reality.
