I personally would not do a D&C. I have heard horror stories to include women who are never able to get pregnant afterward. I also have a friend who went in for an ultrasound at 8 weeks, they said there wasn't a heart beat so they had her come back in two days later.... still no heart beat... so they scheduled her for a D&C and when she went in for the procedure, the doctor, for some odd reason, wanted to do one last ultrasound... and there was a heart beat, and she has a healthy baby today! My personal belief is that our bodies know what to do. If the baby has, in fact, stopped growing, your body should do what it needs to in time. Obviously there is a time limit due to risk of infection, etc. etc., but I am just so against D&C's. It is still your decision though.
Good luck to you. |
