Hello all,
I'm trying to decide whether to do the misoprostol or wait for it to happen on its own. i wanted to do teh D&C but it will cost us upwards of $2000 because our deduct. is so high. ughh... i found out this week at a normal appt. at 10 weeks along that there was no longer a heartbeat for our little baby. the doc thinks based on growth since the last u/s that it had just happened. so maybe around 9 1/2 weeks. so my doc thinks it may take a couple weeks for my body to start the process on its own. My big fear with the miso (other than the pain) is what to do when the baby passes. my doc said i don't need to bring it in, but what do i do with it then? i'm scared that letting it go down the toilet will scar me forever and i won't be able to move on. i would love suggestions as to what to do or thoughts on it. i know that in the hospital they would dispose of it also, but i wouldnt' have to see it. please help. i need to try and move forward and since the D&C is too expensive, i think the miso is the best option. thanks in advance.
