D&C Procedure

A D&C is a procedure used to "help the miscarriage happen".  With my last miscarriage, a heartbeat was not detected, but my body did not naturally miscarry.  With my other two, I just started bleeding, completely unaware of what was happening.  I was given the option to try to miscarry on my own with the last one, and I waited a week and nothing happened.  I chose to go ahead with the D&C since it was right before Christmas.  I will say that both are not horribly physically painful.  The worst part is the emotional stuff.  Keep in mind that the body goes from pregnant to not pregnant pretty quickly.   I felt "sad" for about 2 months, and I mean REALLY sad.  It is something I would not wish upon my worst enemy.
