D&c/ missed miscarriage

Crystal • Mommy of 1 & 2 angels up in heaven 👼🏻👼🏻

I’m extremely heartbroken. I’ve miscarried before but it was naturally a couple of days after I found out I was pregnant.

This is the second time but this time there was no heartbeat or growth at 8 weeks and 4 days.

Wednesday I have a scheduled d&c but I’m terrified, something about me being put down under general anesthesia sounds so scary, to top it off I hear there’s a tube that gets put down your throat which sounds like intubation to me??? I’m so so scared, apart from this loss and how much my heart aches I have to go through this process and I’m just so hurt.

I’ll be finding out the gender after the procedure since my OB was nice enough to consider that it was something I wanted done.

Anyone else get a D&C? What was your experience like and do you really get intubated? Or is it just a tube so you won’t choke on your tongue?
