I thought it was routine to do testing on the baby etc when they do a d&c. I know for mine I got a report back a few weeks later detailing if there were or werent any genetic issues and so on.
Is it really dangerous to wait and see bub will come naturally??
I know it might sound so silly to some, but I want to see my baby.... however he/she is.. I know it could be traumatic, but the scan last night showed such a pretty bubba.... god I wish the tears would stop
I replied on your other thread about your loss. I am not sure about waiting and having the baby naturally but I know you can certainly ask?? Were you seeing a midwife, could you ring her? Also, there is no rush for it to happen right now, so take your time and perhaps you will end up with a DC but dont feel time pressured into it first thing this morning. Just make sure you are comforatble with the decisions and the things they are telling you, and ask questions even if it seems like it is annoying them, it's your body, your baby and of course you can see the baby and take that path as part of the grief process.
Jodie I am so sorry that this could possible happen again. There are a number of blood tests they can do on you now (there are about 16plus tests) and they could test bub and the placenta also. They should offer this to you without asking. Sounds like they are not going to but I think they should especially seeing as it has happened again.
Once again I am so sorry and hope you get all the answers you need.
Yes you can wait. I know people who have waited for 6-8weeks. If your wanting to do that and there is no sign of infection then there would be know reason to not wait. They usually just say to take your temperature daily or if you feel off to ensure it remains normal.
They took a lot of blood last night, something they didn't do the first time...
The first doc i saw said i could even wait for my 20 wk scan if I wanted too, but could get an emergency one this morning if I want, so I guess she saw no great rush, and would've been happy for me to wait a while?? I have the form for one today, but I really dont feel up to it... Ad is dropping the kids off to various places so we just have Harmony today... I want to see bubba again, but I dont want to go the hossy again...
