Describe your D&C (Cross-Posted for more views)

I had a D&C; on Saturday and I also don’t remember much other than moving to the operating table and breathing into the oxygen mask. The doctor talked to my family right after the procedure and told them how everything went and what my recovery process would be. When I woke up I had a few nurses by my side and they told me everything went great. I went back to a normal hospital room where most women recover after having their baby. I was in that room for a few hours so they could make sure I ate, went to the bathroom and could walk around with out issues. After that I was ready to go home and now I have to wait 2 weeks to see my doctor for a follow up. It was nice to have the doctor speak with my family because I could barely remember what they told me I could or couldn’t do or what to except physically recovering for the few days after the procedure.

I'm so sorry for your loss! It is very unprofessional that no one spoke with your family after your procedure. He should have been notified that the procedure was completed at the very least.   I have had 3 D&Cs.; Each of them very different. First I was accompanied by my best friend. They didn't share any information with me other than I did great, and they told her the same thing and let her know I was in recovery. Second I was already hospitalized and had tried 3 rounds of pitocin to try and "naturally" complete the process. It failed and I was losing a lot of blood. After the procedure I wasn't told anything. My boyfriend at the time wasn't informed of anything..just knew it was done as I was being brought back into the room. Third, my husband was very present from start to finish. He was even able to sit bedside in recovery so I didn't have a panic attack when I came out of anaesthesia. He was told the full extent of the procedure as well as the results. Once I was awake the Dr came back and shared her findings with me. I've had a different doctor each time. The third has been by far my favorite all around.
