Hi ll80,

I'm so sorry for your loss :hugs: It is so devastating finding out that your pregnancy that you thought was going along normally is over

I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks, our bub had died a few weeks previously. I opted for a D&C as well. I had my DD to consider - I was worried about my ability to care for her while I had a natural m/c, and did not want to wait for what might have been weeks for it to happen, afraid to leave the house in case it happened while I was out somewhere.

Physically it was no problem at all - into hospital first thing in the morning and out again a couple of hours later. They only gave me a light general anaesthetic, so had no side effects except for being a bit sleepy that day - but that could have been due to getting no sleep that night because of the emotional stress

Emotionally, I am still dealing with it. It happened in October and it has been a hard road since then, but I think I am starting to come out the other end now. It is very much a step forward, two steps backward process though

Wishing you all the very best xx
