I am so so sorry. We said goodbye to our first child at 17 weeks. After my d&e procedure I found drinking red raspberry leaf tea was very helpful in my healing process. I drank a very large mug (probably about 2 measuring cups worth) every day for about a week following my procedure (until I stopped bleeding). I am now 11 days post op and physically feeling almost normal. Also remember to stay hydrated, when I got dehydrated that's when the cramping would get bad. Be gentle with yourself during this time and let others help out as much as you feel you need.
D&C today
Had a miscarriage last Monday the 16th. I bled really bad and passed clots the night of and a little the day after. Since then it had started to taper off. Then at 4 am this morning I woke up in horrible pain. It felt like labor contractions. I was bleeding heavier than when the miscarriage started. I had an early dr appt so I waited for that and he sent me right over to the hospital to get a d&c done. I was losing so much blood I couldn't walk cause I kept feeling like I was going to pass out and the contractions were so bad. The dr told my family I had a clot that was so big he even had a hard time getting it out and the pain I was in was my body contracting trying to push it out. I am hoping after I heal from this I can try and get back to my normal life. I miss being able to take care of my son and spend the time with him I normally do. I just want this physical part to be done with. I know the emotional will take a lot longer to heal from. Especially since I was a little over 14 weeks and had felt the baby move before I lost it. I honestly don't know if I will ever completely heal emotionally.

Thanks. For the first few days i felt like i had been run over by a truck, my back hurt, my hips hurt, my neck and throat hurt. I took advil every 6 hours as directed and that seemed to help. A heating pad on my stomach was comforting as well. I hope you heal quickly. Take care.

Thank you and thanks for the tips. I'm resting for sure cause I feel sore everywhere and my head is throbbing today. Im sorry about your loss.
I'm so sorry you have to go through that! It will get better in time, I promise. I remember going through what you're going through, and it was the toughest thing I have ever had to deal with. But you will get through it. Lots of love xx
