If you have not started to miscarry i.e. missed miscarriage and are howing no signs would a d & C be a bad option? I wonder as I assume if you start to miscarry your cervix would be partially open but if not firmaly shut. would this mean that more force would be needed and therfore more risk of damage to ther cervix?
I had a missed miscarriage in January at 10 weeks. I had no signs of a miscarriage happening - no spotting, no cramping, nothing. When it was confirmed that I was going to miscarry I was given the option of waiting to see if my body would expel naturally which could have taken a further 4 or 5 weeks or else to have the D&C but in order for the D&C to be done, I had to be bleeding otherwise it can be a dangerous procedure. I was given two tablets to take which brought on contractions, opened my cervix and started my bleed. Hope that answers your question.
Thanks, yes it did. Since last Tuesday when this nightmare started I have gone from not wanting to "go there again". To wanting to try as soon as I can as I feel if I don't I never will. Hence my worry if I make the wrong decision it would cause problmes. Was it very painflu to take the tablets nad how long did it take.
Comforting to here that someone else had been there I hope you are feeling bteer now
I booked for a D and C as i didn't want to risk anything being left behind to cause infection but it happened naturally, although i did end up with an infection. They will be very careful tho honey and it shouldn't cause you and medical problems. Thinking of you x x x
thank you for the advice. Its just so hrad to get you head around this, bad enough to miscarry but this puts the decision in your hands. I see you are a mum did this happen after the m/c this would help me as most people i know who miscarried have a child already.
Do you think I might miscarry naturally before Wed?
One of my best friends wife is pregnant due to deliver the week after I would have been finding this hard although hubby says I'm just jealous.
I had a miscarriage then my beautiful little girl then a miscarriage then a miscarriage, it's not about jealousy hun, i know exactly how u feel, i have lots of friends who are expecting and its not like you dont want them to have their babies it just reminds you constantly of what you have lost x x x
