First D&C on Monday

Hey guys, 

I have my D&C on Monday and I’m not only sad but I’m terrified. What should I expect and does it hurt? I have really bad anxiety that has only gotten worse since the miscarriage so this is really hard for me. 

Thank you in advance for your advice!

    Sorry for your loss.  Honestly, my D&C was easier than my natural miscarriages.  The procedure was fairly easy/simple/quick/straight-forward.  I was EXHAUSTED afterwards for a few days, but had almost no pain/bleeding!  Just be careful of trying to do TOO much too soon!

    I’m so sorry. We tried Misoprostol first - which was absolutely awful and ended up not working properly so we had to do the D&C in addition. I had the procedure after a very hard evening in the ER and my anxiety was through the roof. But honestly, it was super simple and easy. I went home and napped, I had a little spotting afterwards, but otherwise felt totally normal.

    First off, I am so sorry for your loss. I recently had my second miscarriage in a row in four months. My first miscarriage happened naturally and at home. My second miscarriage, it was found through ultrasound and I needed D&C, which I had done last Tuesday. The D & C was much, much easier on me. Painless procedure, minimal bleeding afterwards, minimal aching/cramping afterwards. Just like previous poster said, very tired afterwards. My first MC at home, I bled heavily for what seemed like weeks. I’m a week out from D&C and am no longer bleeding. Just still taking it easy and now working on the healing process. Hugs to you
