Some what of an update

So after waiting for 2 1/2 hours and passing clots the size of baseballs and tissue the size of lemons, I called the doctor back!! Nice, it has been since Sunday now and I have to call you guys??? I can't even imagine. Not happy with them right now and feeling very very bitchy.

So anyway, my doctor is off today so Gayle, (my favorite nurse) is trying to get a hold of her. Even if that is the case and they have to schedule out the d&c though she doesn't know what the surgery schedule is looking like.

Contractions have gone down to about every 30-40 minutes now. Not as bad as they were. That is a good thing.

I'm taking another pill and trying to lay down while I wait for them to call back. My guess is I won't hear back until tomorrow.

I did ask my sister in-law what happened when she went through this since this is so totally different from my first m/c, here is here reply:

"Actually, if you had just had the D & C you would have been done by now. That's why I elected to go through it. I basically went arrived at the hospital in the morning, they 'put you under' for the procedure. Mine took about 20 minutes. You wake up in recovery..no pain..but you feel like crap. I went home that afternoon (it was on a Friday) and rested the weekend and was back at work on Monday. Then it's kind of like after delivery, you take it easy with lifting, activity and stairs for a week or two...then you're pretty much back to normal. I really didn't have any pain, just being tired."

Well I was not given the option either way so it wouldn't have mattered much. I don't like that I was told just cramping and heavy period like symptoms. I get the impression that is what a lot of people are told. At least I knew from last time that I would have a lot more pain than that. Some girls aren't so lucky and they find out after the fact!

I'll be back later with updates.
