I had an ERPC yesterday. I have a few questions (this might be long, sorry)
Long story but confirmed last week after 3rd scan as MMC- sac carried on growing but no baby. Was about 10 weeks.
After the spaced out feeling from anaesthetic started to wear off last night (had op about 5.45pm after waiting since 11am ) when I was home, I suddenly started having awful pains up my bum and then cervix- was like contractions not cramping. This happened a few times only to be abated by sitting rocking on the loo. What is that about?
It said in the leaflet I would have antibiotics, which I didn't end up being prescribed (although I have Naproxen as a painkiller/anti inflammatory, one of which I took last night.) Is that because they're confident they 'got it all'?
Next question- I have hardly had any bleeding so far and minimal pain (other than what happened above) and shooting pains in my womb area. Is it likely to get heavier/ more painful?
Last one- when they do the op, do they put a camera up there so they can see that they've got everything?
Sorry if I sound naive- I had an MMC a while ago that resulted in an a ERPC because stuff got stuck in and behind my cervix. The whole thing was so traumatic that I worry they've missed something this time and I have to go in again
I can't remember much about bleeding or pain afterwards as I blanked it out..
Sorry for length of post- I suppose I just worry that I shouldn't be feeling this physically 'ok' already. I'm feeling numb and relieved to be out of limbo..
