Q: D&C procedure

Hi Ladies,
I just found out today that I am miscarrying due to a blighted ovum (the egg was fertilized & implanted but no baby developed) and need to have a D&C tomorrow morning. Has anyone here ever had one before? I'm absolutely terrified...I've never been under anesthesia before and I have no idea what to expect. This is all just so scary and upsetting. Crying or Very sad

I see I'm late and chances are you've already had your D&C. I hope everything turned out well for you. It isn't so bad. You may feel a little bruised after, but that goes away shortly.

((hugs))

Thank you so much, Ingi... Smile

Luckily, everything went smoothly...it was very quick. I'm definitely pretty crampy and bleeding a bit...but at least I'm on the road to recovery now. yes

Thanks again for the thoughts & hugs!

Take it easy. Coughing might feel a little ouchy. Demand on being pampered! You deserve that.
