What was suppose to be the most joyful moment turned out to be the most hurtful moment/minutes of my whole entire life!!! I was only eights week pregnant and it was my first ultrasound and my baby heartbeat had stop beating 1 week ago... Now if this wasnt hard enough I was sent home to have a natural misscarriage!!! Is this standard procedure??? How often does this happen? Or should I go with the dnc procedure what are the effects of a dnc??? This has been the most horrific experience ive ever had to encounter... This was my first pregnancy.... And probably the last I dont think I can/will ever do this again!!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Whether or not to have a d&c is a decision entirely personal to you. I had my miscarriage 'induced' and the experience was horrific and painful. There are pros and cons to each. Of course there are some risks with a surgical procedure but you have the benefit of being 'asleep' and not actually being aware when you pass.

I hope you find a solution for you Sad

your baby was just a tiny little bean and I don't think you need a dnc for that.Your boy will naturlly pass it.If you want another opinion and don't think what your doc said was right, you should call another doctor.

I experienced a m/c personally last year. I found out the same way you did. I know what you are going through.
