@HLK208:
And don't feel like an idiot, I was crying so badly in the pre-op room before my D&C that they shot some sort of drug up my IV "to help me relax" that instant put me into a woo woo state.

@runnerd: @AprilFool: gosh I'm so sorry you guys went through that too. It was a really awful, empty feeling...but reading/hearing about other's experiences makes me feel less alone. Thank you for sharing.
And thank you everyone for the thoughts, prayers and personal stories. I've been alone today and reading over them has been comforting.

Just wanted to express my heartfelt sympathy. I too broke down in tears in pre-op for my 2nd D+C (blighted ovum. after IVF: the first was for a missed m/c at 11weeks) when the well-meaning nurse began to pry into whether it had been a planned pregnancy and offered reassuring platitudes). Wishing you fast healing, physically, and all the time and grace you need to process your loss..

@FliegepilzHut: gosh. You would think medical professionals would know what to say...the anesthesiologist asked if I was excited in the operating room. Uh?? No? Not in the slightest.

@HLK208: I've been thinking about you all weekend. Coping with miscarriage (x2) is one of the hardest things I've ever done. Know that you are not alone, and that it is OK to feel however you feel. Some people bounce back relatively quickly, others don't. It is completely OK, whatever healing means for you. It took me a very long time to feel like my heart wasn't in a zillion pieces, and I was nowhere near as far along as you.
Be gentle with yourself, ask for help if you need, and snuggle your other three precious babies tight.

@HLK208: also: to that anestestiologist, GAH!!! If I were you, I might consider writing a letter to either the hospital or his practice expressing how INAPPROPRIATE that is. It makes me want to punch him.

@HLK208: You've got to be kidding me. That is so inappropriate. There are no words. I second @LovelyPlum: 's suggestion.

@LovelyPlum: thank you - I keep going from being okay to a total mess. B and E have been gone all weekend but I'm going to cuddle them as soon as they get home. I won't let them go and N has been home but she's mad that I won't play with her as much as I usually do...
And I definitely think I'll write a letter. I don't know if it will help? But it was a really rude, weird question.

@HLK208: he HAD to have been misinformed about what you were in for... Surely! But I am so sorry. Miscarriage is really difficult, and the grieving so complicated! Hope you find the support you need here (and elsewhere).

@HLK208: This is a really awkward thought, but I wonder if he thought it was elective? ie not a miscarriage? If that's even legal where you are? I can't think of any other reason someone would look forward to that
Sending you huge huge hugs

How long did you wait to try after you mistoprostal? I just used it and had two D&Cs for one miscarriage at 10.5 weeks. Thanks!
