Missed or incomplete miscarriage: which method did you choose?

Question

Answer

I had a d&c. I was 11 weeks. Baby stopped growing at 9 weeks. It was terrifying. But it was okay. You go to sleep and wake up and it's over. Well sort of. The hardest part is the emotional pain. But physically, after my d&c I could walk and move but I was cramping and bleeding as well. It's been only one week since I had the procedure and I'm still bleeding, but lightly.

Answer

With both mine I had a missed miscarriage and after 4 weeks my bossy naturally did its thing :(

Answer

I did a D&C because I had absolutely no idea my baby's heart stopped at 6.5 weeks. My pregnancy symptoms were full force and my belly was getting bigger by the day. I found out when I went in for an ultrasound at 10.5 weeks. I figured if my body hadn't figured it out by then, there's no telling how long it would take. And as bad as it may sound, I wanted the baby out. I couldn't bear the thought of him/her not having a heartbeat anymore

Answer

I tried the natural route until I ran into complications. I had to do 2 rounds of cytotec and I am currently waiting to pass the rest of the tissue left 😒

Answer

I chose medical management (misoprostol) as I didn't want to risk surgery and wanted to avoid anaesthetic. I had a missed miscarriage and the baby had passed away 3 weeks earlier so I didn't want to wait either, so I chose the medication. It was painful, but I got through it and I think I made the right choice for me.

Answer

I chose d&c because the baby was 12 weeks 3 days when heartbeat stopped, but we didn't know until my 16 week appointment when they did an ultrasound. No cramping or bleeding so I didn't want to wait around for my body to maybe figure it out. If it happens again, I would choose a d&c. I was asleep for it and when I woke up I just felt such relief and closure that it was over. I can't imagine waiting around for a natural mc and I really admire the strength of the women who have done this.

Answer

I chose natural because I thought it would be better for my body, and I wanted to avoid an unnecessary surgery that came with risks.  I did however need to take a few doses of cytotec due to hemorrhaging.  One night in the hospital and I was home the next day.
