I had my D&C late yesterday afternoon, and today I'm having terrible nausea. I'm taking the meds they prescribed to me (I think one is anti-nausea), but right now it's terrible. Is this normal? I'm really about to throw up right now...
I didn't have any nausea. They gave me intravenous zofran prior to my D&C (since I was having some hardcore morning sickness that day), but after that I never took any of the zofran pills they gave me.
It might be worth a call to your doc if the meds aren't helping. Is it possible you caught a stomach bug? Zofran might not help if you have a virus.
Sorry you're feeling sick. Nothing worse.

I too had awful nausea and a horrible headache after my D&C. It took me a while to realize it was the methergine they gave me to help my uterus clamp down (causes cramping). My doctor had warned me that his wife had refused the med after the first dose, so he told me to at least get one dose in (I managed 2 before I figured it out). I am a pharmacist, if you want to list what they gave you I can let you know if one is for nausea...
Also, so sorry for your loss! Hope you find as much comfort here as I have.

I'm so sorry for your loss. ((HUGS))
I didn't experience any nausea after my D&C but I imagine that this could likely be a side effect of the anesthesia.
