Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

It is done

I had my DnC this morning. It was delayed 45 mins because the doc had to deliver a baby. Figures. But I am ok about that.

It went really well. They let DH hang out with me while we waited, and we watched old game shows. That took my mind off things.

After they gave me the drip of something like Valium, they started wheeling me to the OR. I don't remember a thing after that until the recovery room. They let me have apple juice, graham crackers and pudding then. The nursing staff was awesome.

Oh, they did have to give me a shot in my hind end because I am Rh negative. I guess that is a precaution for future pregnancies.

I am home now. I am tired and have very mild cramping and very light spotting. So relieved that this part is over.

  • That day was the worst for me. I had horrible cramping. I was also very relieved it was over. Get lots of rest. It feels like sometimes the only time u can get any kind of relief from your thoughts is when your sleeping. Im praying for you that in this time of helplessness, vulnerability, and grief, that you find hope. Talk about your experience with other women, you will find that many have had a mc that can understand what u are feeling and help u to feel better.
