[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry OP.  I terminated a pregnancy due to a fatal condition at Washington Hospital Center two years ago and was not able to get anesthesia (are you a fed - I am and am beyond pissed off about this).  I was 15 weeks along.  That morning inserted cytotec to prepare my cervix.  They gave me a small dose of Valium before the termination, which honestly had no effect b/c I was so nervous and upset.  I should have asked for a stronger dose.

The procedure itself was very quick - like 5-10 minutes, the physical pain was manageable, the emotional pain was/is very difficult.  They did allow my husband to stay with me during the termination, he was not allowed in the recovery room, but I wasn't in there that long.  The doctors were extremely caring and kind.

Heads up that is it also a fully functioning OB office, so you may run into happy couples.  When I was there one couple was gettin their first ultrasound and another women was ending a pregnancy.

I got counseling afterwards, the MFM office has a list of counselors who specialize in pregnancy loss.

I am so sorry.  [/quote]
