my husband and i just lost our first baby last week. i didn't find out i was pregnant til 6 weeks and was only healthy for two days after that. i had a miscarriage over a three week period and afterwards they did one last ultrasound to see if everything had come out on its own and they told me it did and i was fine. but now i am at home and having lots of cramps, some bleeding and a few clots, nausea, and exhaustion. i was wondering if anyone had some advice on whether a D&C would have been a good thing to get, or should i go back to the doctors and have them check it out? i am confused and not sure how important D&C's are. my doctor was not pushing for a D&C, but i hope i made the right choice. i just want to make sure i am healthy because we want to get pregnant again soon [although i have to wait til after my period to start trying again because the doctor said i needed to let my body heal]. so if anyone has advice about how you feel after a miscarriage, what is normal, what is not normal, and how important a D&C is that would be very helpful. i am very new to all this...
