    Gabysmum, I have had 2 D&C at 12 weeks the first no problems a week or so of bleeding then back to normal, well as normal as you can be!!! The second far more traumatic had the D&C and had pain and cramping for 3 weeks, ended up back in surgery, it seems not all the tissue was removed and I ended up with a bad infection that took months to get over properly.
    Remember to take it easy, while on your holiday and definately no swimming!!! wishing you all the best and hoping things are not too bad afterwards.

    I'm so sorry you are having to go through this difficult time.:hugs:

    I had D&C at 10 weeks I was very lucky in that, I had 1 day of spotting and no pain.
    It really looks like everyone is different. I can only wish and pray you have minimal problems and a speedy recovery. I hope the trip to the Gold Coast takes your mind of sad things and that all you wishes come true soon. Take Care.

    I found my natural miscarriage at 8 weeks a lot easier than my second trimester d&c. Partly because I was further along and it took me more time to come back to normal, partly because of the shock, and partly because I didn't have a real bleed. We had a trip planned a week after my d&c and we ended up cancelling, I was in no fit state to go overseas.

    Sorry to hear about your loss!

    I am so sorry to hear (HUGS) that you have to go through this.

    I really think everyone is different, when I had a m/c I only had the day of d&C bleeding and none after that (though days before D&C were quite heavy)
