Hi Sugarfiend
I have just been through a D&C 21 days ago.
I lost my baby at 9weeks and it had stopped growing at 7 weeks.
I couldn't bare to miscarry at home, not knowing how long it would take so I opted to have the D&C....

With the D&C, it's generally a suction D&C. D is dilate and C for curette. They dilate your cervix to allow them to suction out the uteral lining and whatever is left. I don't know what they do with the remains. I asked if I could have them but was told with what they use to perform the D&C it would be almost impossible so I just let them do what they had to do...
I performed my own little farewell as I didn't have the remains, we used something else...
Some people plant trees or place a plaque in the garden, sprinkle rose petals on the beach - that sort of thing...

If you miscarry at home then you can do what you like with whatever you pass. It will only be small at this stage - I was told it would look like a large clot.

Hope that helps.
I know how hard it is and if you want to talk, I'm here...


Goodluck sweet...
