Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Just Devistated.......

Hello Ladies,

This is my first post on this board as I posted 2 weeks ago on the success after a loss board when I found out that baby A of my twin embryos never had a heartbeat.  Baby B had a heartbeat.  I dreaded todays visit just to be told that baby B's heart had stopped beating.  I tried everything to save this one...bed rest, progesterone therapy but to no avail.  I just cannot stop crying at the lost of both of my baby's.

Tomorrow I am scheduled for my d/c and am terrifyed!!!!!!!  Can anyone shed some light on the procedure? This is just too much to bear all at once!

  • I am so sorry for your loss. No advice but my d&e is tomorrow also.
  • I am so sorry for your losses. ::hugs:: The d&c is nothing to worry about. For me, it was physically the easiest part of my m/c. Cry as much as you want, it's okay.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
  • ::hugs:: I am so sorry for both of your losses. During the procedure, they will usually put you under general anesthesia. You'll be knocked out for the whole thing. You will have some cramping, but they will give you meds for it. I wish you all the luck in the world for comfort and healing!

  • I am sorry you have to go through this.  Think of it as closure and that you can get a new start on things.  Know that there are two wonderful babys in heaven that are looking out for you and DH as you go about your day and may that provide you with some sort of comfort; as it did for me.
  • Thank you for your support, sorry for your loss as well...this board is filled with so many wonderful people...good luck tomorrow as well and look forward to hearing from you as to how things went and how you are feeling.

  • I amso sorry you are going through this. my d&c was easy (physically) - from time of admission in hospital to check out was about 4 hours. I had zero pain, zero cramps, and zero bleeding at all after leaving hospital. emotionally it is so hard. and you should cry at any time that you feel. emoting is so important, and the times I try to bottle it in - just make it worse. i'm thinking of you.
    m/c#1 07/16/08 (11 weeks), m/c#2 10/10/08 (8 weeks). and then nothing since except every test possible (no answers). IUI#1 and #2: BFNs Super lucky to be buddies with Peetie. Our out of nowhere, surprise DD born 5/29/2011
  • I'm so sorry for your losses.  I've had 2 D&C's and the worst part is the emotional pain.  The procedure is a breeze and your after effects are nothing worse than a regular menstral cycle. 

    Page me if you have any further or more detailed questions.

  • I am so sorry you're going through this. That is just heartbreaking. I have no personal info on the procedure, but I have heard many women on here say that it was not nearly as bad as they thought it would be and that it does bring a sense of closure.

     

    My heart goes out to you during this hard week :(

  • Thank you for your support and stories....

    Each one of you ladies is an Angel to one in need....

    Now I think I can get enough courage to update my pregnancy ticker.

    My d&c was very simple.  I was also scared to death, didnt want to have it but now I am glad I did.

    I was in the hospital at 3:30 for prep, basically hung out in a room and watched tv with dh and my mom, answered some medical history stuff.  Around 4:30 they hooked me up to an IV and started giving me the "relaxing" meds and some pepto so the anesthesia didnt upset my stomache.  At 5 my doc came in and talked to me for a few minutes, they dosed me a little heavier, I got sleepy.  Barely remember being rolled into the OR.  The procedure took 15 minutes and I was back in the room with dh waking up right away, didnt even have to go to recovery room because I wasnt out all the way-just heavy sedation. 

    As soon as it was over the cramping and bleeding I had earlier that day stopped.  No pain, no bleeding, tiny tiny spotting for 5 days and that was it.  Within 2 weeks of my d&c my levels were all back to 0 and now I'm just waiting for AF.

    You will be fine sweety!  Physically it will all go great and you will be back to normal body in no time.  Emotionally, healing started for me once the d&c was done, and once I stopped spotting I finaly felt like I could move on.

    I will pray for you.  Keep us all posted!

  • {{hugs}} I am so sorry for your loss.

    I haven't had a d&c, so I can't answer your question.

  • I am so sorry for your loss.  It is devastating and so difficult to go from such happiness and excitement to such sadness.  I had a D&C last week and the procedure went well considering.  I had medication to relax me before the procedure and anesthesia during (but not totally under).  I have had very little pain or bleeding since.  I was very tired the day off and after, so take it easy.  Good luck and many hugs.

  • I am so so sorry for your loss. I totally get you being terrified. Before yesterday I had never been in a hospital for ANYTHING. Just the shear thought of an IV had me cringing. Honestly the waiting for me was the worst. They had to put me in as an emergency (1 week after discovery though) appt because there wasn't enough beds. I waited 6 hours before being taken up to the OR. Everyone in dayward was eating & drinking around me - I was starving!! I couldn't eat for at least 12 hours before the procedure and they said i was going in for noon so it was almost 24 hours before i ate. Honestly once they got it all going, the medicine knocked me out and the next thing i knew i was in the recovery room. Back in dayward i took some T3 and DH took me home. Today honestly, I feel great. It was just as everyone else said - not as bad as we think. Take care!
  • I am so incredibly sorry for what you are going through. {{hugs}}
