D & C Dialation and Cutelege (BAD Spelling) If one does't pass all the tissue.. a D & C may be performed. It is an outpatient surgery.. and the uterine walls are scraped. My mothers friend used to call it a " g and Cleaning " Usually your Dr will do a transvaginal U/S to see if all the tissue has passed. - Mommy to: Noah - 10/14/02 - 31 weeker - 3lbs 11 oz Jonah or Isabella - EDD 10/28/04 m/c 7/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 its called a d&c and no not everyone has them, if it exspells on it on its not needed, when i had mine i was i could go home and when the baby came out to bring it back to the hospital and i couldnt imagine seeing a formed fetus and dealing with that on top of the miscarriage so i asked for the d&c, sometimes it depends how far along you are, sometimes you just start bleeding like a period and dont even know the difference. sometimes your body just reabsorbs everything. talk to your doc about your situation. apryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
