Not necessarily, often the baby passes on its own without a d%26amp;c
Reply:I miscarried and didn't have one. If after it's over...the doctor does a pelvic and finds that there's nothing left, it's unnecessary to put your friend through a surgery.
Reply:No. I lost my first baby at 6 weeks. The doctor said there was no need for it. Your period will clean you out if its early in the pregancy.
Reply:I had a miscarriage with out one, but should have had one. So the Dr. ended up going in and manually giving me one the old fashion way i guess, and then i had to be put on an strong antibiotic just to be sure if any was left there would be no infection. So I'm sure the Dr. told your friend if she gets any fever what so ever get her to a Dr. quick.
Reply:Hell yeah, They should have given her one at the hospital. It can kill her if there is any debris left inside of her. She needs to go get some help as soon as possible, this is a matter of life or death!
Reply:no. Her body will naturally purge itself. A d%26amp;c is an invasive treatment to rid the body of a fetus while it is still alive.
Reply:It is not always necessary, and her doctor probably knows more about it than you do.
Reply:No. Most women don't need one. I didn't have one and I'm fine. It's something too many doctors do unnecessarily.
Reply:I think the doc knows better.





What do you think women did for centuries without d%26amp;c's after miscarrying? The body will naturally get rid of any foreign matter that remains after that.
Reply:not always if it was early on as long as her doc says shes is fine then she is
Reply:I guess it varies with each pregnancy. I miscarried and didnt get a d%26amp;c but then when i got pregnant again, i had alot of complications because of not getting it and almost miscarried again.
Reply:If she wasn't far along, the body will take care of that itself. People only need a d%26amp;c if they are a certain time period along.
Reply:What makes you think that she does anyways?





I had a miscarriage and didn't need one. As long as she passed everything on her own then no she doesn't need one. It sounds like the Dr checked to make sure she did and everything was fine. There are very rare instances where one wasn't performed when needed. She will be fine, at least physically. You as her friend should be there for her emotional support and her Dr can take care of the physical aspects of it.
Reply:i think the person who went to medical school and has been practicing medicine for awhile will know
Reply:I've had 5 miscarriages and only got far enough along once to require a procedure. The doc will do an ultrasound to determine whether any tissue has been left in the uterus. Usually, it takes care of itself.
Reply:If you are less than three months pregnant when you misscarry, your body will pass the fetus by itself. No need for a painful d%26amp;c. Her doc may also perscribe her some medication to help pass it as well.
