I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you must be going through right now.
Your doctor will most likely do a D/C where they clear out your uterus. The recovery is harder emotionally than physically. Give yourself several weeks and you should start feeling normal again.
Again, I am so sorry. :(
If your body doesn't spontaneously abort the baby itself, your doctor will do a D&C. I'm sorry for your loss :(
p.s. from what I understand, with a miscarriage this early your body is very likely to take care of it itself... just expect a lot of bleeding and cramping :(
I was about that far along when I miscarried - I had what looked like a large clot fall out of me, about the size of a golf ball. There was some bleeding and cramping afterwards, but nothing too bad. Everything took care of itself and I didn't need a D&C. During my miscarriage, I had an internal ultrasound that showed what was going on, and then they just sent me home with some pills to make my uterus contract.
Two days after it happened I was back at work. Three months later, I was pregnant and carried my baby girl full-term.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I am so, so sorry. I had a miscarriage in April. It was the hardest time of my whole life. It still is actually. Thankfully, I had an amazing husband who was there for me through everything. I hope you have someone as wonderful as I did.
I didn't have a d&c because my body was able to take care of itself. I was about 9 weeks along. I was in a lot of pain for a whole day and I bled a lot for a couple of days. Take some time off. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry! My heart is breaking for you! That is such a hard thing to go through. I have lost two babies at around that time. I always started bleeding at home (or at the mall with one) and I never even went to the doctor. I bled for a little bit longer than a normal period, and it was definitely pretty heavy, you know, with lots of clots and tissue. I didn't really have any irregular cramping, but I've heard that some people do. If the bleeding wouldn't have stopped when it did I probably would have gone in, but everything seemed fine to me. After my first one, I started trying the next month, and it only took three months to conceive again. I was actually due with him on the anniversary of the miscarriage, kind of strange. With my second one, it took a little bit longer to get pregnant, about seven months, and I am now due in April.
I am so sorry that you are going through this. I just experienced my second mc this year in Dec. I was about 9 weeks along but the baby quit growing at 6 weeks. My OB checked me and I was only spotting a little and my cervix was closed tight.
I tried to mc on my own for a week and when he checked me again, I was still closed tight and hadn't "lost" anything so I opted for a D&C. He told me that I would likely go for 3 to 6 weeks with bleeding if I went on my own where I was still closed. I couldn't do that.
The D&C was a good option for me, but I know it is not for everyone. I did tons of research and having a D&C done correctly does not increase your chances of having another mc nor does it cause any scaring. I entered the hospital at 11:00am and was back home by 2:30pm. I spotted for a day and a half after but that was it.
For me, it was better because I couldn't handle bleeding for 3 to 6 weeks longer and I was really worried about actually passing the baby. I worried that I would pass it and know that it was the baby. I also worried about the pain and bleeding.
After the D&C I was able to get some closure. I was told to wait until I had one normal period to start trying and I got my period back exactly 30 days after the D&C.
My doc also said that it can take longer to get back to a normal cycle if you miscarry naturally because your HCG numbers will not go back to zero until you have gotten everything out. But, he didn't try to push me into a D&C, he just gave me the facts and allowed me and my husband to decide what was best for us.
I know what you are going through and it is the worst thing I have gone through. Make sure you give yourself time. I cried every day for 2 weeks.
One thing that really helped me was "talking" with other women who had been there before. I found a great message board with amazing ladies at www.whattoexpect.com. It is the "Grief and Loss" board. It was a nice place to ask questions and offer support to others who had also had a mc. You will find that there are many that have done both the D&C and a natural mc. I did a natural with my first but I was only about 5 weeks along. Please go and visit the Grief and Loss board. It is free and it has really helped me heal. My heart is breaking for you.
I just wanted to agree with what everyone else has said. I've been through this also and it's a hard thing to deal with. I'm so very sorry.
