4 days post D&E

Courtney • Missed MC July 2018/ D&E Aug 3. 👼🏻👼🏻Second MC Oct 2018 TTC for my 🌈🙏🏻 Third Pregnancy I’m the making💛

At 6 weeks pregnant I was told my pregnancy was not viable. “Most likely a blighted ovum” or it stopped growing. Heart breaking. My first pregnancy. After waiting until my husband and I were finally ready we lose our baby. What a horrible first experience of pregnancy. On exactly 7 weeks of my pregnancy I had what was called a D&E.; I was confused bc I thought I was getting a D&C; and they said no a D&E.; I read D&Es; are done in the second trimester, anyway, I had a D&E; done and that was such a scary experience before hand. It’s a serious surgical procedure, I had no idea I would get put under general anesthesia. Anyway, now, at 4 days post, I’m bleeding ALOT, and the cramps are horrible. I thought this would happen as soon as I had the procedure, but it’s hit me like a rock since yesterday. Is it normal to be bleeding this much and cramps, it’s almost as if I had a very heavy period, like the first day of your period times ten...😳. Just would like your experience, OB did inform me I would bleed, but I’m surprised at 4 days it’s gotten actually worse... TTC as soon as I get my next cycle 😞
