i had a D&C just seven weeks ago with a 9-week bub. we found no heartbeat at the ultrasound and i'd had minimal spotting beforehand. it took me two weeks to stop bleeding as i was still passing bubs (yes, unfortunatley they didnt do the job right) a week later. i wasn't prepared for the amount of pain i went through either, but i was back at tafe within a week although i didnt feel up to my usual strength for about a month, and i'm usually a strong person. i'm a massage therapist and landscape gardener, and 43, with fifteen years since my last pregnancy (planned that way) emotionally it took me a lot longer to come to terms with everything, i still am.
i hope this helps. and i'm so sorry you have to make this decision, but i personally believe it's better to get it over with asap. take care of yourself.
