Has anyone ever had a D&Caafter giving birth?!


Question: Has anyone ever had a D&Caafter giving birth!?
Nine days ago I went into labor at 18 weeks!. I had to have a D&C afterwards because the placenta would not come out!. I still have very light bleeding and a small pain in my belly, it's not overbearing and pain medication relieves it!. I don't have a fever either!. Have had some hot flashes but nothing more!. IS this normal!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, this happened to me too!. I also lost my babe at 18 weeks and had to have a D&C after wards to remove the placenta!. Even when the Internet usually says that we should be recovered within a week or so, this is NOT the case for women like you and myself, who had what is called a "late miscarriage"!. This means our baby was bigger and the placenta had developed, so in some way we went into a real "labor" and it is understandable that we bleed for weeks (in my case, around 3 weeks, first heavily, later on, just spotting)!. The alarm sign is fever, because it might reveal an infection, but this seems not to be your case!. The hot flashes occured to me as well, so I went to my doctor 3 weeks after the miscarriage and he checked me and said that the bleeding came from some blood remaining in the endometrio, while the flashes were normal!. If you feel unsure, the best thing to do is to visit your doctor, this will reassure you and garantee that your uterous is recovering well for future pregnancies!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
