sezjm - very sorry to hear about your situation, it's very painful. I've had eight miscarriages and with every single one, after my d&c's I always have various blood colours so it sounds normal to me but if it really smells for your own peace of mind get it checked out.

Most of my d&c's have still been performed even though I've started bleeding, it seems more painful when you have already started bleeding than not, going by my experience. I hope in time you'll feel comfortable sharing your feelings as I found this forum to be a very comforting place hopefully you soon will have that baby in your arms.

All the best for tommorow Lilylou, to both of you!!!
