Introduction and D&C question

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Hello, I just found out yesterday that we lost our baby. I am 33 and this was my first pregnancy. I was 11w2d and started experiencing brown discharge and I just knew something was wrong. I went in for an us and they saw a baby measuring 8w5d with no heartbeat. I am absolutely heart broken and devastated and cannot stop crying. We were so excited for this baby and it is all we talked about. Now I'm getting ready to go in for my D&C this afternoon. I'm so scared and don't know what to expect. I'm still in shock and can't believe this is happening. Any advice on how to get through the D&C and what to expect is appreciated.

    I'm sorry for your loss.

    My d&c was painless. The worst part was waiting for the procedure since I had to be at the hospital 2 hours before, and then they were behind an hour. I was put under for the d&c so don't remember any of it. I did have to go climb up on the table and that part caused a lot of anxiety, but they gave me something to help me relax.
    I woke up after and felt fine, a little sore, but nothing major. For the rest of the week I had some cramping and back pain off and on. The heating pad was a great help.
    I started spotting 4 days post d&c and bleeding day 6-14 post d&c.

    Thank you. It really helps me to have some idea of what to expect. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. I just really want this day to be over. They also want me there 2 hours early so I know there will be a lot of anxious waiting.

    I have had the same experience. Having heard the heartbeat already, I went into the us feeling fine. When I discovered there was no heartbeat I was shocked and devastated.

    Today I went into the D&C. To think 3 days ago, I was pregnant and didn't appreciate that gift! I was complaining about side effects and now I am longing for those same effects. I feel empty.

    I am hurting with you, but we will get through it!

    Thank you again everyone. The D&C went smoothly and I'm taking today off work just to rest and do a little emotional healing. I'm so sorry that you all had to go through this too. It is one of the worst things that has ever happened to me. Thank you for all the support!
