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!

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'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
i'm so sorry

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.
I am so sorry for your losses!
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.
