waiting....

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

the doctor says i'm certain to miscarry.for some reason i'm resisting the d&c this time. i think because it is too much a reminder of the first traumatic time i had to surrender and admit that the pregnancy was over. so as i am sitting here in this waiting game, this torturous wait for something to happen, i'm wondering if anyone knows of some natural ways to help move things along. i hate the idea that it could happen at work or worse on the train ride in, etc.

i don't want to take any medicine, would exercise help maybe induce it or anything else that you know of?

    I'm very sorry for what you are going through. Is there a reason why your doctor says you are "certain to miscarry"?

    As far as I know, there is no way to induce a m/c. Unfortunately, it's all related to your blood levels and if you body hasn't caught on, your body isn't going to start the process.

    Parsley IN the vagina can help open the cervix and start contractions.

     

    I'm so so so sorry for your loss, I have had two m/cs and had them both naturally.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  Here are some natural stimulants that may help, but I don't have any personal experience with them. 

    * Parsley: Parsley is a good herb to start with. You can take it along with Vitamin C supplements. Boil two and half cups of water and add one once of parsley to it. Remove it from heat immediately after adding parsley and cover it. Steep it for about 20 minutes. You should drink 2-6 tablespoons of this parsley tea four times a day. Another way to induce a miscarriage with parsley is by inserting a fresh sprig of parsley into the vagina as far as possible. Remove it after 12 hours and insert a new one. Repeat this for every 12 hours. This prepares the cervix for release.

    * Vitamin C: Vitamin C is the least toxic and the most effective way to induce a miscarriage. Continue taking high doses of Vitamin C orally for every hour until your period starts. You can take up to 6000 mg of Vitamin C a day. It is very effective in bringing on menstration [menstruation].

    * Angelica/Dong Quai: it is a uterine stimulant that helps in relaxing the uterus. It not only stimulates delayed menstruation but also encourages the uterus to expel its contents by stimulating contractions. If you are taking a tincture, add 5-15 drops of it to a cup of water and drink for every 4 hours. And if you are taking capsules take 1000 mg every 4 hours.

    I took 5000 mg of vitamin C. I naturally started to M/c at 11w1d on 4/10 because baby stopped growing at 6w 1d. I  took the vitamin C 4/11 at night and started with cramps on 4/12 with bad contractions on 4/13. I am a tough cookie and I will admit I had to take only 1 pain med the night of 4/12 and 2 pain pills of 4/13. I don't even take cold medications so this was a big deal to me. I was thankful I had them. I wouldnt change my mind for doing it natural than a D&C or with the pill to induce it. Overdose of Vitamin C just gives you diarrhea.

    thank you so much for your responses. I had no idea about the parsley and vitamin c. i am going to wait a few days and then will give it a shot.

    do you mind talking about your decision to go natural vs. d&c?

    the waiting is extremely torturous, but for some reason i feel as if i need to do it naturally this time.
