Sister in law is miscarrying at 3 months. She is in a lot of pain (cramping) doesn't see doctor until Monday. Baby is size of a lime, right? Will she have to have a D&C? Anxious to help, anyone BTDT that can offer what helped them? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I'm sorry to hear this. Most likely, she will have to have the D&C. Is this her first child? If she has others you can offer to take the kids for a few days so that she can get some rest. If it is her first, then bring her over something to eat for a week or so and just tell her how sorry you are that this has happened. [ Reply | More

She may not have to have a D&C. If she's in a lot of pain--or just scared--she can go to an ER, which is what I did though that was nightmarish too. [ Reply | More

i'm surprised that her OB hasn't told her to go to the ER--especially the one at his hospital, where he would have privileges. in that situation, my doctors would definitely tell me to do that, and then the doctor on call would come see me. [ Reply | More

She did go to the ER, Friday night and they did an ultrasound. She was supposed to see her regular OB on Monday. She will likely need the D&C, but they'll check her tomorrow. She's had lots of cramping still - now taking percocet for the pain. Its her second pregnancy. [ Reply | More

I miscarried at 12 wks. Am sorry for your SIL. You can do it naturally or d&c but my dr advises d&c if after 10 wks. [ Reply | More

I wouldn't go to ER unless bleeding heavily. Other than d&c there's not much they can do and she can wait on d&c. It sucks. [ Reply | More
