[quote=Anonymous]Was surprised to have D&C scheduled for late this afternoon. I wanted this, but I'm feeling so anxious and scared and sad. I don't really fully understand the procedure and waiting for a call back from my doc. I mean I understand they dialate my cervic, but how do they dialate it? Do they do it with pitocin or some other drug or just pry it open? Scraping out the contents of my uterus sounds so grusome but I know my doc mentioned suction. Do they ever just use suction? Sounds more gentle. They said the procedure will only take 30 or 40 minutes and that I should be able to go home a couple of hours later. Is that accurate? I know there is anesthesia but am I fully sedated? It makes me nervous that I don't know more about this process. When I talked to my doc I had just found out about the no heartbeat and we didn't go into too many details of the D&C and didn't discuss any of the risks. [/quote]
