I would really appreciate any information, personal experience advice, etc. regarding the risk and dangers of both options - waiting to miscarriage naturally or scheduling a D&C.

My doctor is not recommending one over the other and has said the choice really is up to both of us depending on how we feel.

My friend had a D and C last week and shes was in and out very quick and feeling alot better. It supposed to cut the chances of possible infection. Hope this helps and im really sorry xx

I'm sorry that your going through this, I myself have been through this in March this year and I personally decided on the D & C. It was a very quick procedure and was home a few hours after which I was glad of. I just wanted the closure I think.

on whatever you decide and if you have any more questions I'd be happy to answer them for you x

I had a d & C as i had waited a few weeks for it to go but it was a blighted ovum and stayed put. I would say mybe go to the mc and u can read my full story on the posts and others and they will help you.

so sorry that you're having to go through this x

So sorry for your loss.
I wasn't given the option of a D&C, and was told to wait for natural MC. At the time, the waiting was awful, and knowing that my LO was still inside me, but passed away was emotionally terrible, but I started to bleed less than a week later, and I am now glad that I let it happen naturally. It was really painful for the first two days, but after that was just like a long period. In the end I was glad to have avoided the surgery option, though either way, the loss and grief is still there.
Hugs and thinking of you,
xxxx

I've had two D&C's because of missed miscarriages. I was in and out the same day and it wasn't painful, no more then a slight period cramping. I didn't want to risk an infection and ruin my fertility. *huge hugs* If you need to talk I'm here!

I'm so sorry for your loss hun. It is someting that nobody should ever have to go through, let alone someone who really wants a child.

Personally, I think i would prefer to have a d&c, I wouldn't want to have my bub still inside of me and have to wait until it was out.

I see it been moved to the mc sectionm glad u got more replies

Hi hun I am so sorry for your loss. I had a natural mc but, my best friend had an incomplete m/c. She started bleeding went to the hospital they did blood test, she went back 2 days later bleeding had stopped another blood test confirmed she had began to m/c as her hormone levels had more that halved, she had an ultrasound scan and internal which confirmed the sac was there but could not see anything inside, said for her to come back in 2wks and if she hadn't finished m/c naturally then they would do a d&c, 11days later she started bleeding again which meant the m/c was complete, she said it was like losing her baby all over again and she wished she had pushed for a d&c. I think one of the reasons they don't do d&c's automatically anymore is that, your body heals alot quicker than if we had surgery. The choice is yours hun you have to do what feels right and also what your OH thinks as well. Sending you
