i had a D+C and the hospital were lovely, the one thing noone warned me about was sore legs (from them holding ya leg up thingys) it took me a few days it felt like my legs had run a marathon.
remember to rest after wards i made the mistake of jumping back into normal life and ended up quite poorly.

youll be fine and we are all here for you

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, please don't be scared, you'll be ok.

I've had natural misacarriages twice when I didn't know I was pregnant, so it's not the same as it happening when you know that you are (I was younger and not expecting to be pregnant). When I knew I was pregnant last year and did miscarry at 13 weeks there was no way I could have done that by myself at home, because the baby had already died at 8 weeks anyway and I was in a lot of pain they wanted to get it out. More to the point I couldn't stand the thought of it being in me anymore. I was under anesthetic and then off work for 2 weeks - 1 for me to recover physically and 1 for me to recover mentally.

First off...I am so sorry for your loss. I had a d&c when I lost my baby. I was put to sleep totally, and didn't feel a thing. When I woke up I had a bit of discomfort and I bled for about 10 days...very light bleeding. I found that for a few days after I was uncomfortable but then was fine. I took 2 weeks off work. I tried to go back after 1 week but found it was too soon, I work with Moms and their new babies....so I took another week. Take care

I am so so sorry for your loss. I had a DandC just over a month ago and it wasn't that bad to be honest. By the time I had the Dand C, I couldn't cry anymore and I just wanted it to be over by that point. I was out of hospital a few hours later and didn't bleed that much (no worse than a heavy period). I did get a UTI a week later which I had to take antibiotics for but think that was my own fault for not drinking enough water (and too much wine). I still cried everynight for weeks but apart from sad days here and there, I am feeling more positive now. Hope this helps and thinking of you. XX

I really wouldn't. I mean, I know some people physically can (I couldn't because I've already had a couple of laprascopys so guess I'm a bit sensitive down there) but I think you really do need some time to rest up or you could make yourself ill.
It's not like you can't leave the house, but don't over do it. Take some time out for you, watch movies, talk to friends (or us!!) eat brownies
