Hi I have had a few curettes done for missed MCs and one after my first baby, retained placenta !!! if they say you need it done get it done, that will be what will stop you from having another baby if you get a bad infection. Why don't you ask about a twilight anesethic, I don't believe it does'nt take long for the currette to be done and you don't feel anything while they do it under a twilight (but are in a lighter sleep, than a GA) you wake up straight away and feel like you have had the best sleep ever, there are no side effects and you can go home soon afterwards, I believe they used to use them for abortions, whether they still do I have no idea? but I think worth asking about.
I have had GA 15 times. It is really nothing to be scared of. You are not aware of anything and won't remember anything about it either. It is not like being asleep in that you don't dream. I love the feeling when you are going under. You will be just fine! Big hugs.
You'll be fine. I had this happen to me in June. I just had a heap of blood and tissue left in there that they wanted out. My little girl was only 2 weeks old at the time. I had her with me right up until I went into theater and I was able to have her again while I was in recovery and was feeling ok. It didn't take them any longer than 45 mins to do mine. So feeding shouldn't be affected too much, just make sure you tell the nurses you are breastfeeding and they're usually pretty good. Mine all remembered without me having to tell them and made sure as soon as I was ok that my little girl could come in and feed.
