[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again.  It really sounds like everyone prefers the D&C to natural m/c.  Is there anyone who has been through this and m/c wasn't really that bad? [/quote]

OP, I did.  I am the poster right above, and I preferred it this way.  Best of luck to you whever you decide.  [/quote]

OP, I am just so sorry for your loss.

My first miscarriage was about 10-11 weeks (not sure when the baby died exactly).  After a HORRIBLE ER experience (after waiting and praying and staring at an ultrasound for hours, the doctor barged in, never looked at me, and barked, "You are aborting your fetus.  Why are you wasting everyone's time?  There's nothing to do except schedule your surgery), I swore I would not go back to the hospital.  I miscarried on my own a day later.

It was extremely painful for me.  The actual miscarriage took about an hour.

But I will be totally honest with you:  I ended up hemorrhaging three weeks later, which resulted in another AWFUL trip to the ER, with the doctor (different one) saying "People don't come to the ER when they have their period" as she pulled huge clots out without anesthesia and I screamed in pain.  I swore again I would not go back (I had been taken there in an ambulance when I fainted while walking down a hallway).

That led to three months of nonstop bleeding.  Every day was the miscarriage.  It was hell, the lowest time in my life.

All that being said, I am still glad I did not have the D&C.

I hope you are feeling physically better now.  And I hope you have complete healing soon.  God bless you.[/quote]
