Has anyone had a D and C before?

Question

I am just wondering what to expect before, during, and after.

Answer

I had one last year at ten weeks under twilight anesthesia. No physical pain afterwards, very minimal spotting, but emotionally painful which is to be expected. I woke up from anesthesia hysterical begging for my baby and I remember them giving me more meds to knock me out. I did have light bleeding like 3 or 4 days after but it wasn’t much and nurse said it was normal. I’m sorry you have to go through this, it’s something that was very traumatic for me and I went into PPD from the drastic decline in hormones. Take it easy after, watch your favorite movies, have family and friends over for comfort, no baths or anything up there for I believe two weeks but double check. My HCG levels took about a week and a half to drop down to negative. Feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to ♥️

Answer

I had one in November and it was extremely traumatic as I had a very bad reaction to the anesthesia but to be fair, the entire miscarriage was traumatic.

Answer

Have had 2. Docs do the surgery under anesthesia. More than anything for me it was very emotional knowing what was going to happen I just felt so empty I cried on my way to the operating room& after. Only pain I felt was peeing after the procedure. Good luck❤️

Answer

Had one after my daughter procedure only 15 mins wasnt in pain when i woke and my bleeding was very little after more like heavy spotting. Xxxx

Answer

I’ve had 2 in the last year... it’s not as bad as we think! I had 2 missed miscarriages so I wasn’t bleeding prior to the surgery. The wait up to the surgery in the waiting room sucks because you do nothing but think about it. But they knock you out and you go home right when you wake up. I had bleeding after it like a period for about 2 weeks. Was annoying and a constant reminder but we have to do what is best for our bodies. Don’t use a tampon after for the bleeding and don’t have sex for a week I was told. I hope all goes well for you!

Answer

For me it was simple, I don’t remember much. They knocked me out. I was home within a couple hours. Made my bleeding pretty light. For the most part is was easy
