It's a medical procedure that removes the remains of the pregnancy after a miscarriage if a woman's body does not dispel it all naturally.
D&C stands for dilation and curettage. The cervix is dilated and then surgical instruments are used to scrape the inside of the uterus.

Usually a D&C is done when you need to clean out your urterus. This is usually done when you miscarry and other cases when you may be having other female problems. D&C stands for Dilatation and Curettage, meaning they dilate your cervix, go in and scrape or suck (vacum type machine) out everything out of your urterus. Here is a website with more info.

it's sometimes used before you miscarry they know that you are going to loose the baby so they try to put u out of the pain by offering that its basically an abortion but not really because the baby is already dead. they want to get it out before ur body miscarries

It removes the remains of the embryo. If you are further along they will do a D&E.
