D and C tomorrow

in Late Term and Child Loss
Hey everyone,
Looking for some support here:) I have a d&c scheduled for tomorrow morning and I am ridiculously nervous. My first miscarriage happened naturally, and I am honestly just so worried about the sedation! They said I would be getting propofol, so no breathing tube (unless in the event I need it bc of emergency), and I am so afraid my body is going to stop breathing and the thought if being out for all of this is not settling well:( please, does anyone have any advice or experiences to share? I'm desperate! Thanks in advance!

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  Most of the women on this board have experienced loss very late in pregnancy or the loss of a child... so I'm not sure how many can answer this question.  You will probably get more responses on the miscarriage/pregnancy loss board.  Again, so sorry for your loss.

    I just wanted to say that not everybody that has a d&c or d&e belongs on the miscarriage board. In this case it seems that she did, but please don't assume that when she hadn't stated how far along she was. I was 21 weeks pregnant (pregnancy dated at an earlier ultrasound) when we found out my baby's heart had stopped but because he was measuring so small my doctor did a d&e instead of me delivering. So just wanted to say that you can't assume that means it was an early loss :)

    I didn't assume....she said her first miscarriage was natural, inferring that this was also a miscarriage. I also just thought that even though there are some women here who have been through it, there would be more on that board, so I was trying to direct her where she could get more answers. Didnt mean to offend anyone.

    Hi there, I'm so sorry for your loss. I too had a miscarriage & d&c in July. I was terrified to go "under" bc it was my first time. I really thought I was going to die in my sleep. It was the worst feeling. I was told 2 weeks before about my missed miscarriage and felt awful that I was walking around still having it inside me. That said, I shook until the min they gave me the anesthesia. When I woke up, I felt like a weight had been lifted. I had zero side effects from the procedure and anesthesia. I couldn't believe how sick I had gotten myself over it. I really just felt like I could finally move on- a second chance on a blank slate. Even though it is so hard, please do not be scared. The chances of something going wrong are so minimal. It is a quick (15 min) procedure.
