Pregnancy Info HOME

I felt OK after the DC. eEmotionally, I was still thinking "how did this happen to me?" It was kind of surreal because it all happened very fast, one day I am pregnant, the next I'm not. It was terrible. Physically, I felt fine. I had very light bleeding that was gone by the time I left the hospital. When I woke up, I had some cramps, but nothing too severe. No fever or chills.

It's extremely devastating and really , there are no words to actually describe the depth of what you are feeling right now. But please take comfort in the fact that it will get better and you'll be able to look back and remember the incident without feeling like the world is falling apart. I know because I myself have been through two of them. The first one was extremely painful for me because I didn't know what to expect. I can still see the big , empty sterile room with just the tiny bed with the donut hole in it. Not only that, my body felt like it had been through hell and my thighs were so sore. I just wanted to close my eyes and pretend it wasn't happening... It still makes me sad when I think about it years later, but in a matter of fact way. I have experienced the pain and have been able to move forward. That's why after experiencing three miscarriages, two d&c's, one premature birth which nearly killed both me and my baby and having survived it all, with two beautiful boys, today, I decided to use my training as an empowerment coach to help provide support and acknowledgment for women experiencing miscarriage and premature birth. So many positives came out of my pain. I found my calling. So hang in there, things will get better and you will feel better, and you will be able to move forward in your life. Just remember this is just part of you journey.

Hi girls... I just had a d&c on Dec. 28. I don't remember a thing b/c of the meds, but I still felt (and still feel) like my whole world had just fallen apart. My body was sore but my heart is what hurt the most. It is devistating to be pregnant one moment and then to literally wake up the next and not have your baby... I can't even describe it. I know it has only been two weeks but does this horrible aching emptiness ever go away?
