Happened to me.

We lost our fourth pregnancy in 2005 due to a miscarriage. My girlfriend asked me to babysit her son. She brought him despite him being sick. Unbeknownst to us, he had Fifths disease (a version of the chicken pox which is very dangerous to unborn children). I miscarried about 10 days later. Went to the hospital and they confirmed we no longer had a heartbeat.

Not all the tissue came out at home. The hospital warned me it would eventually come out and usually happens naturally.
Unfortunately, my body was still in baby mode and kept depositing blood in the uterus, so I bled for days. The day it all finally came out, I was clotting so bad I had to grab my toddler’s diapers to catch all the bloody mess. Then came the labor pains while I pushed everything out. I passed out on the bathroom floor from blood loss.

My 3 year old found me and brought me the phone. Thankfully, I have awesome neighbors that came to me rescue. They got me to the hospital, took care of my kids, notified my husband at work, etc.

Had it not all come out, they would have had to perform a D&C.

What you’re describing is not an abortion and no MD worth a plug nickel would call it such.

They should have performed a d&c right away, for crying out loud. Who’s your doctor, Josef Mengele?
