Question

2 days post D&C question...increased bleeding and cramping.

Hi everyone. So on Monday we found that our supposed 8 week baby no longer had a heartbeat. There was a heartbeat last Monday, and this Monday it was gone:( I had no signs of impending miscarriage, so I opted for the D&C or D&E, and had it done Tuesday. Question is...for the first 2 days I had hardly any cramping or bleeding. Currently I'm having awful menstrual like cramps and more bleeding. Anyone experience anything similar? Thanks in advance.

I'm so sorry for your loss! When we lost ours at 3 mths the doctor made us have a D&C . After the first D&C I had huge clots, and major cramping. It looked like someone had dumped grape jelly down my pants. I went into the doctor the next day, and after another ultrasound they said I still had "tissue" left so we had to do another D&C. After the second one I had a third D&C with a laparoscopy due to rectal pain, but with the final one I had no pain or clotting. I would tell your doctor what's going on so they can do an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok.
