I'm not thinking of D&C, I said D&E because that's what I meant. A D&E may additionally use curettage. The post I was replying to was speaking of medical students learning a specific procedure. I said that procedure is used to treat miscarriages (and not just perform abortions as was implied). I know what I'm talking about as I have had 2 D&E's due to miscarriages. They do a D&E if the doctor feels you may not have expelled all the fetal/conception tissue because that is a health risk. My 2nd miscarriage I was 3 months pregnant when the baby died, the doctor did a D&E in hospital.

I miscarried the first time I got pregnant at 8-10wks and they told me they did a D&C. But then, the pregnancy was never at a viable state from the beginning and didn't even progress to a heartbeat. Maybe that's why they did a D&C rather than a D&E?

My apologies! It was late, and I've not slept well these past few days. I was tired and didn't read carefully enough.
