Thanks everyone for the response. Its great to hear from those whove been there. We are taking it hour by hour atm. I am finding its a real emotional rollercoaster. one minute i feel fine, normal even, the next empty, and very emotional. We will tr again as soon as we can, but I think it will be hard during next pregnancy -- i imagine we'll be so much more worried and anxious over symptoms. I had no way of knowing anything was wrong this time.
I am sorry about what you have gone through. I had my D&C on a Thursday and went back to work on the Sunday and worked another 5 days that following week (I am a PCA). Physically you will be fine. Can I also mention it is good you are getting your D&C done strait away, I had to wait a full week which gave me extra time to 'think'.
My doctors said I will be right for normal daily activity in 2 days time after the surgery.
I found out at 10 weeks via u/s I'd lost my first baby & was booked in for a D&C that afternoon/night. I cant remember exactly what time, maybe 7pm I think. They told me it would be best to stay overnight so I did. The next day on my way home from hospital I went to our local mall & got my hair cut short (I suppose trying get closure?) but I was fine physically that day.
I cant help you with going back to work as i had to give up my job at 6 weeks pregnant due to suffering HG so I didnt go back for some time. I would say give yourself at least a few days off for the emotional side.
