TRIGGER WARNING
⚠️ Miscarriage ⚠️
Mama’s who have had a D&C.. I’m petrified at the idea and just horrified for lack of wording.
I am hoping baby will pass through on his/her own over the next week. Having to have it physically done is going to seriously screw with my mental state..
I need to know what it’s like? How long is the process? What happens? Do you feel back to normal directly after or is there a healing process? Any moms who have gone through this and can bear to talk about it, contact me please.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, there was a girl on YouTube who had talked about her experience in detail. I believe she is called Curly Susie... she had a mc at 11 weeks.
Wow I haven't talked about this in a long while. This post has me thinking back. When I went through the procedure I was asleep but it was very quick. I was very nervous and emotional as well. When I woke up I was cramping and bled heavily which lasted for some days after but slept so so much. My experience was not to pleasant because of the fact that I had to wait 2wks for my appt. That feeling of going to sleep every night with he/she inside me and no heart beat destroyed me at that time. My apologies for over sharing I just haven't talked about my experience in so long.
Prayers through your process and I'm truly sorry this is something you even have to endure love🙏😉
@kikimama I'm truly truly sorry love. Remember what you're feeling is ok just try to have some hope/faith that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. You will overcome this.
@riasm85, absolutely! Thank you! I will have my rainbow baby, I just wish I could have loved this one too. But I know all happens for a reason. It’s just disappointing and heart-shattering. Thankful for you mama’s and the wonderful support system I have.
I’ve had both a D&C and a miscarriage at home. I preferred the D&C because it was quick and over with and I didn’t have to see the embryo. I bled a lot less and healed a lot faster emotionally after the D&C. It’s physically painful either route you take though. And the D&C definitely wasn’t cheap. You can message me if you’d like. Thinking of you and sending love.
For my d&c they put me under it seemed like a relatively quick procedure, I had very minimal pain and bleeding after. I was very tired and it was very emotionally draining. I'm so sorry you have to go thru this, prayers ❤
Thank you so much 😞 it’s horrible, I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone. Thank you for the prayers.
It’s definitely nerve wracking mentally. They knocked me out and it felt like I was asleep for only a minute. It’s a fast procedure. You will most likely fall asleep there again from the medicine but it’s an in and out procedure. My body went back to normality with few cramps and bleeding a little. But my heart was heavy and it’s okay to cry and get it all out whenever you are feeling sad. I’m sorry you have to go through this. ❤️
Ugh 😭 thank you so much, mama. Doesn’t sound as physically terrifying as I thought but you’re right, mentally this whole process has been draining. I will take the time to mourn and heal. Thank you. ❤️
For my missed miscarriage d&c they knocked me out. I was crampy after. Didn’t bleed heavily. I also had an IUD put in so I think that’s why I was so crampy. I wanted to sleep the evening away. I was crampy the next day but not miserable.
@kikimama, but of course, if need be, I will have to go through with it.
@kikimama, makes sense. I had already had my 29 weeker at that time and wasn’t emotionally ready for dealing with the loss of that pregnancy and that’s why I went with an IUD after because I didn’t want to go through that again. Sorry if what I said upset you in any way.
@kimberly_the-preemie-mom, no, you’re okay! It didn’t upset me, I completely understand where you’re coming from and every mom is going to think differently on MC naturally vs by a doctor. And I don’t blame you. I’m very scared to try again, but I’ve wanted a second baby for almost a year now and I just wish I could have grew and loved this one but it just wasn’t the right time. I have hashimotos as well which makes MC, still birth and birth abnormalities more common. My daughter was born perfectly healthy so the AI disease didn’t really cross my mind until the ultrasounds started coming back funky. Hopefully next time I can keep my thyroid levels and antibodies at a decent range. 😕
For me the d&c was really fast they put me to sleep wake up with light bleeding and some cramps for like 4 days after that my body went back to normal but mentally I was really sad because I never expected that I tried getting pregnant for 3 and a half years it broke my heart in pieces I was really really sad sorry you have a miscarriage good luck.
