complications during dnc

edited May 2011 in Pregnant
As u all know i lost my precious angel... The Doc found last Monday that our baby had just died his heart stopped beating. I'm taking this very very hard so bear with me. I'm still carrying him inside me so that makes it harder. The Doctor told us yesterday that my body is protecting him & don't want to let him go so I'm having surgery this Thursday to take him out. We already have had 4 opinions & they all told us the same thing. There's times when I'm doin ok but then I starts crying everytime anyone asks me about the baby. We got 2 c our baby for the last time yesterday... He looked so much bigger than he did almost 5 weeks ago... I started crying and looked away. Our lil precious was curled up like a baby cub... My body is like mama bear was protect her baby cub. Still no heart beat... It breaks my heart... I GO IN FOR SURGERY ON THURSDAY MORNING AT 5AM... THEY R DOING A DNC... IM SCARED... HAS ANY1 EVERY HAD ANY COMPLICATIONS CUZ OF THIS SURGERY... DURING OR AFTER?... HAS ANYTHING EVER WENT WRONG DURING THIS SURGERY & THEN THE WAKE UP TO FIND OUT THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED & NOW U CAN'T HAVE KIDS ANYMORE... OR ANY THING HAPPEN AFTER?... I GUESS I'M SCARED CUZ AAFTER ALL THIS I FEEL LIKE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TO ME ;_(

  • My surgery went very smooth the only problem I had was when they would try to wake me up my heart rate would hit about 160 to 170 because I was so upset just remember to take deep breathes that it will all be ok! Many hugs and prayers for you!
  • Good luck honey!! I havent had to have a dnc though my body did it itself Keep your head up!
  • I had one in Nov after my miscarriage and had no complications. I'm so sorry you are going through this x
  • And by the way its a D&C
  • if you don't mind me asking how far were you when the babies heart beat stopped?
  • I'm so sorry for your loss! I went through the same thing your going through & I know how hard it is...I didn't have anything go wrong during my D&C nor have I heard about anyone else having complications. As horrible as it sounds, it's very routine. Physical recovery is nothing but the emotional side is very hard. Best advice I can give is please let your body & heart heal before trying again...Everything will be ok, you have a Pregly support team if you need anything...I'm going to keep you in my prayers hun.
  • @Bwhite55019... I know i just put the n as a &... They gave me a pamphlet on it...
  • @MY PREGLY FAMILY... THANK U EVERYONE 4 ALL UR SUPPORT...

    @littlenat86... Why did u have to have one... How long after did u get preg again...
  • Physically its not bad its just the mental effects
  • I had one in October '05 I had complications but nothing that prevented me from getting pregnant again or anything. They didn't get the baby out and i have no idea what they did but I was in pain down there for almost a month. I was bleeding for two months straight. I woke up screaming in pain and instead of putting pain killer in my iv they stuck me in the butt and they did it hated hard. They ended up hitting a nerve. I couldn't feel my left cheek for about 3 months and had a shooting pain from my butt up my back. That Dr actually ended up getting license taken away a couple months later for malpractice. But I think my experience was rare.
  • I am so sorry for your loss I was so praying that things would turn out differently. I had a D&C in Oct.2010, unfortunately its a very routine procedure and everything went very smoothly. It only last at most an hour. I only bled for about a week and my period picked up around the same date before I had for pregnant. Good luck and God Bless.
  • I had a d & c in 2006, and my period went to every 6 to 8 weeks, which made it hard to figure out my ovulation. But everything went fine. I'm sorry. God bless!
  • I'm so sorry for u sweetie I know how hard it must feel still protecting ur angel wishing that this all isn't real hoping to hear that beat..for wanting something so bad. I do wish n pray for ur recovery n that you will be a mommy again. I know you will be a great mother n ur next baby will be blessed to have u. Be safe n recover physically n mentally. Lots of hugs
  • I had a d & c last April. I was 12 Wks and baby had just stopped forming. I didn't
    Have a period after and after trying a few drug therapies I had to go to a specialist in Sept who ended up removing scar tissue I had formed. I wouldn't have done anything different. My body just healed itself a little wrong. Three months after the corrective surgery I was pregnant again, and am now 19 weeks. My thoughts are with you. It's the hardest decision to make. It will help you begin to heal. Rely on family and friends for lots of support! You will need it even if you don't want it at the time.
  • @babysolario I went for a scan at 11 weeks but baby had passed at 9 weeks and my body wasn't letting go. I was offered medication to help it pass or the d and c. I chose surgery and the baby was cremated and taken to the local cemetary. I had to wait a month for a normal period and then could start trying and we fell pregnant again on the second month. Any other questions just ask x
  • @babysolario My Dr told me to wait @ least 2 cycles before trying again but I was so devastated to even think about trying. I had mine in 2009. My husband & I didn't start talking about trying until Dec of 2010...& the funny thing about that was we had the talk on Dec 20, which was my birthday & I was actually already pregnant! The lord has his ways & he knows what you can handle...I took that as my "sign" that this pregnancy would be ok & it has been:) I'm 24 weeks now & have had no problems so far...I was 11 1/2 weeks when I had my D&C but I don't know @ what point the baby stopped developing...Sounds horrible but so much was going on that I don't even remember half of what my Dr told me, I didn't want to hear anything anyone was saying @ that time:(
