Hi,

Iam really hoping someone can give me a little advice

I had the worst news 5 days ago that our baby (1st pregn) had stopped growing (no heartbeat) 1 to 2 weeks earlier. My Obs stays she will try to organise a D&C for me this week sometime.

My Obs says I should only need 1 day off work

I have a very physical job, where I treat 10 - 15 patients a day with physical therapy (ie lifting ... etc)

I just wondered what I should expect after the D&C and if I really need to organise a few more days off (my cousin said she needed a week after hers???) ... I am feeling pretty depressed about the whole thing... and Iam also worried that since I am over 10 weeks preg that just the shock to my body and hormone levels will make me feel pretty crappy??

Thanks in advance
Kellie
