D&C is over

I had my D&C this morning and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. My doctor does it in her office and wanted to give me demerol.  After researching online last night about demerol, I got freaked out and decided that I did not want to take it.  I ended up just taking a xanax and was relaxed enough to get through it just with that.  I definitely felt a lot of pressure and cramping but I had a heating pad on my stomach the whole time and was listening to my ipod.  I just focused on my breathing and tried to disassociate the lower half of my mind from my upper. I know this method is not for everyone but I felt it was the best for me.  My doctor is also wonderful and so supportive.  I am just glad that it is over with and though I am still sad, I am ready to move on.  I am confident that I will be a mother one day and I am going to hold on to that belief.  Everyone on this board has been so supportive and I feel blessed to have all of you to help through this tough time.

    So very sorry for your loss. I am so surprised to hear that you were awake during the D&C. For both of mine, I was put under in an operating room. I am kind of jealous as I wish I would have been "there" for the process - it would probably help with grieving (though nothing relaly can).

    SO sorry you have to be here and I admire your optimism and positive outlook. I have no doubt as well.

    oops, I meant to say that I disassociated the lower half of my BODY (not my mind) from my upper.

    You are so brave!  My doctor gave me the option of being awake for the d&c and the thought of it made me queasy.  I ended up miscarrying natrually and didn't have to make that decision.  I also wanted to say how much I love your attitude!  The thought of ONE DAY being a mommy is definitely helping me get through all of the sadness and emptiness.  I'm trying to hold on to my faith and keep reminding myself that I'm not in control of this.  I'm thinking of you :).

    I love your positive outlook!  You ARE super brave!  The only option I had was to be put out, but I don't think I could have stayed awake anyways.  It takes a really strong person to do that.  I hope you can really start healing now that it's all over.  I felt better when it was all over and I could start moving on (from the physical pain). Hang in there! :]
