Help,pills Or D&c

Hi Bettyboop

I'm sorry for the loss of your little angel :hugs:

I had a D and C, AND had the tablets (probably similar to what you were mentioning= misoprostol I think I had????)..I inserted the tablets the morning I went to have a D and C, a few hours before. My obst said these tabs would start to open up my cervix and just kinda help the process along a bit. My angel may have died a few weeks before and I hadn't experienced any bleeding or symptoms.

For me a D and C felt the thing to do because I couldn't face the thought of waiting and waiting for it to happen naturally. I was scared it was going to go on forever and I felt that it had already gone on for long enough.

Trust your doctor in showing you what you should do..if having a D and C sounds too dangerous in your case then follow his judgement. You don't want more complications to arise by having a risky procedure.

Thinking of you hun, hope this tough time gets easier for you very soon..

(In case it helps- after I had the tabs I had some mild cramping/aching and started to bleed. This happened about and hour and a half after taking them)

What did the doctor offer you in terms of medication? Personally, I prefer meds over surgery because it's less invasive, but there are risks associated with both. Actually, I like the natural way best of all, only it doesn't always work out that way. Best of luck!
