If you have what is considered a "complete miscarriage" no procedure is typically performed. This means that your body has naturally expelled the fetus. If there are any remnants of the fetus or pregnancy then a D&C will be performed. This procedure is done under general anesthesia. It is usually not painful, some slight cramps. The real pain from a miscarriage is nothing physical. It is all emotional. I had two miscarriages personally. One at 13 weeks and one at 16 weeks. I know how you feel. Best of luck!

Unfortunately I know the answer to this first hand. I lost my first baby at 19 weeks. I actually went into labor and my bag of fluid was bulged. You will actually have to deliver the baby. I lost my second baby at 23 weeks and it was the same procedure. I am PRAYING that you aren't going through this, because no woman should have to deal with the pain and loss of a child.

A D and C. If you were over 20 weeks pregnant, you would have to deliver a still-birth. A baby is viable after that time, and a birth would be required.

You will be given medication to induce contractions so that you can deliver the fetus. Then you will probably be sedated and given a D&C (That stands for dilation and curetage). They go in and clean out your uterus so that there aren't any remnants of tissue or placenta left over.

after u have miscarried they will perform a d&c, they put u to sleep and then scrap u up inside to make sure every thing has been removed, u will have an ultrasound done as well. it sounds worse than it is.

You have to go into labor and deliver the baby.

you will actually have to deliver the baby, b/c you are almost half term. the baby will more than likely not be alive.
