D&C tomorrow morning and I'm all alone and terrified

[princessbala]

Hi, I don't exactly know what I want to hear from anyone, but I'm sitting at home alone (husband at work, and son with mil) and I'm getting increasingly upset and nervous and scared for tomorrow :( has anyone been through this?

Yes, I had to go in by myself. Husband joined after school run but I had already gone down.

Don't worry. They will treat you so well. The nurses are very understanding.

I won't lie. It's a horrible thing. But don't be nervous about going in xx

It’s been 5 weeks since my d&c and it was no where near as bad as I thought! I was really upset on the day but they took really good care of me. I woke up with next to no pain just an empty feeling. They even let my partner come into the recovery unit with me as I was scared. I went home later that day.

Good luck. X

So sorry OP for your loss, its so hard and sad. Sending you a big hug.

I had the op with my missed miscarriage and I was scared cause I'd never had an op before and I was worried about the pain. It wasn't nearly as awful as I thought it would be and the hospital staff were beyond kind. Make sure you are honest with them about how you are feeling. I was very well cared for and so thankful for it. You will be too i'm sure. I didn't have much pain either - just period cramp type pain. Take as long as you need to recover - the emotional wave hit me really hard after the operation. Be kind to yourself, accept help and let yourself grieve for your darling baby xx

Yes- I had to deliver baby first and placenta wouldn't come away and so had to have d and c. Delivering baby was far worse- d and c was the easy bit. As soon as I was injected with anasthetic I'd gone and then I awoke to them making sure I was registering them. I was like- fuck off and let me go back to sleep.

I too was worried, but it really was fine. You'll be fne

Yes. I did it alone as DH had to look after my toddler. Honestly, it was ok. I’d had a scan (actually 2) that showed it was all over. The d&c ended the limbo, most of the pain and nearly all the bleeding. The staff were very kind. I got a private room (as it was a general surgery list) and lots of tlc in recovery. Hope it went ok. X
