Mary -
Thank you so much for your response. I really don't know why she
scheduled the D & C -- she did not explain it. I suppose she does it as
a matter of course.
I am very anxous about it. I had one before and it was horrible -- they
gave me a Fetanyl/Demerol combination and I vomited throughout.
Moreover, these narcotics made me feel lousy and did not remove any pain
of the procedure.
This time is trying and I wish that I could just allow a natural
spontaneous abortion to occur.
Thanks so much for your support.
