So I took the pills to help me miscarry and nothing really happened. I go into the hospital tomorrow for my D&C. I'm really scared and nervous!! I don't know what to expect. How did this go for all of you?? I'm nervous about being put under for the procedure, but on the other hand I'm glad that I will be. I don't think I would want to be awake for it. Did you guys have a lot of pain after it???

After my D&C physically I felt OK. There wasn't a whole lot of cramping or anything after. I was just tired that night from the meds by the next day I felt pretty normal. Lots of good thoughts your way for tomorrow.

I didn't have a lot of pain afterwards either time. As for being put under, it's not so bad. It must really be unpleasant if they want to put women completely out for it. I've been under general anesthesia four times now, and each time when I woke up it was like "when are you going to start?" I guess that means it's like no time passed at all. I know I woke up freezing cold both times I had a d & c and woke up under one of those air-pumped warming blankets (like they put on hypothermia victims). That was really the only unpleasantness I associated with the surgery. I realize you probably have already had it by now, so I hope everything went as smoothly as possible for you. I know my recovery was not bad either time. I had little to no bleeding for the first week and then I bled like a light period for about a week and a half after that. But whatever your doctor tells you to expect is what you should expect - anything abnormal you should report to him or her.
I am sorry for your loss. Hopefully the physical healing is easy for you so you can focus on the most difficult part - the emotional healing.

I have had 3 D&C's and the first one I was not totally put out, and it was much less pleasant and a lot more cramping and pressure feelings. I have found both times I have had D&Cs with general anesthesia that when I come out there is almost a euphoric feeling, which I know sounds horrible, but I think that it must be some combination of having the anesthesia and just having the waiting behind me. I think the worst part is the hormonal crash that comes for about the next week. I am always extremely emotional for about a week afterwards. I still have my moments, but they are more in my control now two weeks post D&C. I have my 2 week follow up tomorrow!
Good luck to you and I hope that you have as easy an experience as you can considering what you are going through. I will be thinking of you & please let me know if you ever want to talk. xo, Lauren

Hi ya, firstly let me say how sorry i am for your loss. I realise that the D&C will be behind you now. I did not find mine that bad physically. Emotionally i cried when they were putting me under and then when i woke up. Be kind to yourself for the next little while, as Lauren said the hormone crash is the worst. I was numb for around a day and then just plummeted. It helped to have friends and family supporting me thru. Thinking of you. x
