Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I am so sorry to hear this. I know how you are feeling. I've had 2 m/c before and am very lucky to have (looooooong story....). I had 2 d & c's. Other than the emotional upset of losing a baby, the d & c is not bad at all. You would be under general anesthesia so you'll feel nothing. I woke up with slight cramping but recovered quickly. It was a same day surgery in the hospital and I was home in the late afternoon. I think the whole procedure took about 20 minutes. I was glad I had the d & c's - it was better for me emotionally. My dr wanted me to have them. Some dr's prefer you wait it out and pass it naturally since there is some chance of scaring with d & c. You did NOT do anything wrong and God is NOT punishing you. Unfortunately, bad things happen to good people - there is no explanation other than it is, what it is (my husband's words that helped me through). There is a whole grieving process you will go through - crying, anger...this is all normal. If you'd like to talk to me privately, feel free to e-mail me at smilemtb@.... My thought and prayers are with you. ann/ NJ > Message: 20 > Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2002 21:44:54 -0500 > From: " brendaty " <ruby1@...> > Subject: Re: OT > > well i'm sorry to say but i do have some bad news..after having a horrible experience with the ultrasound tech today..have not to nice words about her....the dr called me back today at about 530 pm to tell me that there is a sac that measures to about 6 weeks and there is a yolk but no fetus..she was mortified as is me and ty...now we go back next week to see if my body is gonna get rid of it or not cause me hormone levels are still going up..if not, then either i can wait to see what happens or get a d & c..i willl prolly do the d & c as then i don't have to worry when it will happen..as i said, we are in shock and so is our family as everyone knew...i can't believe this is happening and i can't help but feel 2 things..its my fault and god is punishing me for what i did to tucker (noggin) i know neither are true but as i said, i'm in shock..also, anyone who has had d*c can you please, if you don't mind, tell me a little about this..where is it done..how long does it take, does it hurt, how long are you out..etc..thanks again.. > > brenda > mom of tucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
