question about D&C

I had one in Feb 2003 but I guess I've blocked a lot of it out. I remember that they put me completely out and it was about 15 minutes and light cramping and I bled like a normal AF after.

Has anything changed procedure wise? Its been almost 10 years so I don't know if the procedure has evolved or changed since. Going to have one tomorrow so not sure what to expect.

Thanks for your help.

My procedure was about an hour and a half. I was completely under. I came to in recovery, was given pain meds for the cramping. Went back to the room I was in in preop and they said once I could stand to dress myself I was okay to be discharged. I had heavy bleeding the first day, but no need of anything other than advil. Though I did sleep a good bit that day or maybe it was the next.

Oh no <3 sorry for your loss

Thank you. We had the same due date. :/ btw.... is your screen name Dr who? My daughter keeps talking about people with those names haha

I has to a one in Jan of this year. I was completely under. When I came out of recovery I had to eat some gram crackers and drink juice just to make sure I could hold it down. I think the whole thing took about 2 hrs that was walking in the hospital until I walked out it was very fast. I did not have to have any pain meds after and only bleed for about a day day 1/2.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you guys. <3. I appreciate the condolences. Btw... did you have to be fasting?

I had one June 2008.they put me under.i did not eat before.when i woke up the nurse gave me something in my iv to stop the cramping.then an hour later she gave me juice and crackers.i did not bleed and had my period a month later

I'm so sorry for your loss <3

I had a miscarriage about three years ago and I had to fast before my D&C. I don't think the procedure has changed much since then... I had D&Cs two years apart (2007 & 2009) and the procedure was the same both times.

ETA: They made me eat something before I was allowed to leave because they had to push my D&C back until the afternoon
