Thanks for your reply.

Well, thank God that I don't have to go thru D&C...Just that lots of people saying that it is better to do D&C since it will be easier to conceive afterwards. Thanks for your explaination.

The doctor said that next time when I'm pregnant again, they'll give an injection to make the uterus stronger and adviced to get lots of rest. However, I'm not so sure what type of medication that they'll use. Have anybody tried this injection before? Does it will effect the child later in life eg down syndrome, slow etc...?

Thanks

The injections that they are talking about is progestogens. It does not make the uterus stronger, it just ensures that the endometrial lining is healthy enough and remains that way to support pregnancy.

Its a harmless injection. It is actually a hormone that your body produces. The theory behind it is that the corpus luteum is unable to secrete enough progesterone to maintain the pregnancy leading to a miscarriage. So, they feel that by supplementing progestogens, which is a synthetic progesterone, you circumvent this.

There are no serious side effects to your baby or you and there is no increase in the risk of down syndrome.

A good enough explanation here. Whatever it is, you have to confirm with your doctor which exact medication he'll be giving you and let him explain what it is for. If he doesnt, remember to ask!

Regarding your first paragraph on D&C causing better fertility rate, hmmm.. I wont agree with that simply because it's not needed in your case! smile.gif

The need to do a D and C would depend on the type of abortion, not the fertility rate. If you have a complete abortion, there is no need to do a D&C because there is nothing to curette out. But if you have an incomplete abortion or any retained products, D&C is vital, because the retained products can cause a lot of trouble and maybe even cost you your life if it is not removed.

By doing abortions, you are actually at risk of not being able to conceive in the future. Imagine when you are married, financially prepared and you can't have a baby because of the abortion.

And I've read a lot of stories on girls/women who took the easy way out and end up regretting it for the rest of their life. The guilt. You'll miss the little thing in you.

Abortion=Killing a life!

So if you are looking for ways to get rid of the little precious, why don;t you look for ways on how to earn extra money so that you are financially ready for the baby?

yes, that is its an elected abortion. But spontaneous abortions do occur to people who want their pregnancy. Its commonly called miscarriage. D+C will sometimes need to be done for spontaneous abortion in which the conceptus has not fully aborted

The shot after delivery is usually of oxytocin or oxytocin/ergometrine. Its meant to prevent post partum hemorrhage. usually given after delivery of the baby but before the placenta.

Just to correct a misconception, the shoulders are the most difficult part to deliver as they are the widest. After the shoulder, the rest just come out just fine. Sometimes the head gets delivered and the shoulder stuck, a condition called shoulder dystocia which is an emergency.
