feeling anxiety about tomorrow, not sure what to expect...

So It's been about a week and a half since finding out about my lost LO. I'm still waitng for D&C. I got a call from a new OB I have never met on Thursday, (I was seeing my regular Dr so far) that I have an appointment on Monday morning, first thing. Then, later I get another phone call from the OB's receptionist saying the she wants to meet me at the hospital Sunday at noon. After thinking about it and wondering, I called her back and asked, why does she want to meet me at the hosptial? Will she do the D&C right then? The receptionist said, likely yes. Then, after thinking about it some more, I called back again and asked, are there any special instructions if I'm having a D&C, like not eat or drinking for a certain amout of time? She says, no, just go to the hospital and the Dr will assess you.

Then, the nurse from my regulat Dr called to see how I was doing (she's awesome!) and I told her the story. She was surprised that the receptionist told me I might have the D&C on Sunday, but said eat light incase.

 So I don't know what to expect tomorrow and it's driving me crazy!!

    honestly, this sounds strange. for my d&c i couldnt eat or drink a thing for 8 hours before due to anesthesia.

    good luck tomorrow.

    Thanks ladies! I honestly want the D&C to be tomorrow because I just want to get this over with and have closure! I hate not knowing. To clarify, where I live (Ontario) I see my family doctor until 28 weeks, then they refer you to a OB GYN. So I've only been seeing my FD and didn't get to the point of meeting any OB GYNs. I can't see the OB scheduling a D&C without consulting me. If it's not tomorrow, I'm telling her to schedule it ASAP, like the next day if she can. I want this done, I want to heal, and I want to TTC again when we can. My heart clenches when I see babies....I really want one! For me and DH. I don't even feel sad anymore, I feel disappointed and a little angry that we were so close, only to have to start all over again.

     P.S Thanks for listening to my personal rant session. I've said it before, everyone here is amazing and I'm so thankful so have you guys to listen to me and to hear all of you experiences and opinions as well. (As much as I wish none of us are here, we will get through this together)

    I would avoid having all solid foods six hours before the meeting, and stop drinking anything two hours before....if they do do a D&C, I would ask them for sedation and if you follow these guidelines they should be able to.

    I am sorry they are being so vague with you...they really should be giving you more information.

    Well, the whole process of having it done on a Sunday does sound odd, but I can honestly tell you, it is n ot as bad as you are thinking. The fear of the unknown is worse than what actually happens. I am the biggest baby and scaredy cat ever, and I came through it fine. I was especially scared because it was my first "real" surgery I'd had since I was a kid. They will likely give you something to relax, and you won't remember a thing after that. The procedure is short so even though you will be having anesthesia, it won't be a lot and they will be able to wake you up quickly. I was in moderate pain, and they gave me something in my IV, and I didn't even need any other pain meds the rest of the day, although I did take a dose the following day, but haven't needed any since. Good luck! Really, you will be just fine, although it's hard to believe it, I'm sure...let us know how things go.
