Rory, I'm so sorry for you loss hun

I had a D&C after my missed miscarriage in 2006. When we discovered via ultrasound that our baby was no longer, and there was nothing we could do about it, I wanted the 'pregnancy' over that minute, yesterday. My heart needed a D&C, ASAP. Fortunately, my Ob recognised that need, and put me first on his list for that afternoon (and he was amazing that whole day, I will never forget his compassion). It was not easy, I won't lie. But I could go on with grieving immediately, and move on to hoping for another baby soon. It was all I could think about, falling pg again was the only thing that could help me at the time.

I'm not saying at all that you 'should' have a D&C, but that you will know what you need to do for yourself in this situation.........your heart will tell you. Inanna is right, the risks are there, but are tiny. Perhaps don't let them stress you out, but see if you can find inside you what it is that you need to do right now, and discuss it with your care providers
