My friend is going through a misscarage should she have a D&C done?

My Friend has no insurance right now She was suppose to be getting it thruogh the state but has not recived it yet, but now she is misscaring and she is not sure wether she should get the D%26amp;C or not I myself have also miscarried but did not get the d%26amp;c done and everthing went fine for me but every body is dif. So I'm just wondering if she should do it consdering she has no insurance.

My friend is going through a misscarage should she have a D%26amp;C done?
She should do what the doctor recommends. As far as the insurance goes, she can probably still use it to cover her expenses once she gets her card. It should cover everything from the day that she turned in her application.
Reply:She should NOT get the D%26amp;C in my opinion. Especially if the m/c has already started - there is no need and they probalby wouldnt do it anyway if she is already bleeding. I did have a missed m/c where the baby quit growing. They wanted me to get a D%26amp;C but I decided to wait for it to happen naturally (your body knows how to handle this even if it takes a while - it is part of the natural process. While it helps to move on by having it "over" via D%26amp;C, it is much harder on the body, can effect future fertility, and takes longer to be able to try again. Further, the hospital stay is much more expensive.) If she did have a missed m/c or there is tissue (very rare) that doesn't all come out, then there is also the lesser expensive, less invasive, easier on the body option of asking the doctor to prescribe misoprotosol. This is what i took. It cause the body to kick into contractions and get the m/c to start.





Best to you and my condolences to your friend. It is very nice of you to be concerned and there for her during this time. I've been through 2 and wouldnt wish it on anyone.





Take care!
Reply:sometimes you do not need a D %26amp; C. also, the state can retroactivate her insurance if it was supposed to be effective by now. most doctors will take cash patients, and she may not need anything but an iron pill. call the local OBGYNs and see what they say.
Reply:So sorry about your friend.


I think that's really up to the dr and how far along she is. I didn't have one done either when I mc'd, but if she must have it...she must, for her health. She can work out a payment plan with the hospital. I know I was able to make payments on some things my insurance didn't cover. Best of luck.
Reply:i think the only reason she would need a d%26amp;c is if there is still parts of the baby left inside of her. and depending on where u live even tho she dosent have insurance there should be places that go off income..
