That's it for me (loss mentioned)

well ladies I had my follow up ultrasound and there was no growth and baby's heart has stopped. I'm handling it pretty well as I'm looking at my 9 month old laughing at me so regardless Ive been blessed. However in the past it hasn't been so easy. I now need to decide whether to try to miscarry naturally or schedule the d&c my doc says it's all up to me. Any ladies have any stories or suggestions regarding this? Anyway It's been nice ladies wishing you all happy and healthy pregnancies!

There is a helpful thread on the miscarriage/pregnancy loss board. Posts with advice and personal experiences with NMC, D&C, and Cytotec. It may help with your decision. Or, at least, what to expect.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I had a D&E with my first pregnancy because it was the week before Thanksgiving, and I didn't want to be travelling and dealing with a natural miscarriage while away from the comfort of my own home. Silly me. I ended up having retained tissue that passed about a week after my D&E, so I basically still ended up doing the natural miscarriage thing away from the comfort of my own home. That happens both ways though; I know a lot of people who miscarry naturally have retained tissue and need to have a D&C too. I'll pray that it's only one or the other for you.
I will say that the actual surgery is no big deal. It's quick. The recovery is generally pretty easy. The emotional stuff is easier for most with the surgery. But with that said, it is surgery that has its own set of risks. Personally I would suggest weighing the emotional aspect and physical pain of a natural miscarriage with the inherent risks of any surgery and the financial aspect of surgery and see which one is best for you.
((hugs)) and again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
