Re: Before your D&C... Update.. new question.. D&C related

Posted by dm24angel

I'm gonna be really honest, possibly graphic here. First, my heart is breaking for you. I do know what your feeling in part. I lost my first baby at 24 weeks gestation...followed by many M/c's.

I have had one D & C. I actually did pass the baby before it took place, I knew it was coming, I was 14 weeks and I felt the need to 'push' as I was going to the bathroom ( I was in the ER at Good Sam)...I felt it come out, and freaked, called the nurse in ...she didnt know what to do really. My Dr. felt the D & C was still best to perform, he could still get some cells from the baby and run tests even if I had passed most of it.

Anyway...I have a INTENSE fear of Anesthesia...I was told the D &C would take all of 15 minutes start to finish. I BEGGED my Ob not to make me have to go under ( I had eaten, they wanted to intubate and do general anesthesia..I was losing it badly.

HE agreed to do a cervical block...and just numb my cervix and let me be awake. So I can tell you how it really is , and it was NO big deal. I SWEAR....It was over in honestly less then 10 minutes if that. I spoke to him throughout it and then ...well...it was done. I went to recovery for about an hr, and left. I left sooner b/c of the no anesthesia I'm sure.

God...My heart just hurts for you and I pray you get through this as easily as humanly possible and please FM me anytime if you want to talk at all about anything.
