So my D&C was 2 days ago. I have next to no pain, just a slight discomfort in my abdo. I have no bleeding at all but as of yesterday I have bloated like a whale. I lierally could not fit any of my trousers this morning and had to dig out the ones I wore before I had Elle (I was slightly bigger then). My entire body is sore to the touch thanks to the bloating.
I hope these hormones settle soon! Did anyone else experience this? ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

I don't remember too much pain or bloating, but mine was an incomplete m/c rather than a missed one so I had already had a few days of cramping and heavy bleeding beforehand which probably makes things a bit different.
I hope you are resting! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Ok so I think a big part of the bloat is gas but why is it stuck and why does it hurt soooooooo much when a little comes out??? I called the nurses hours ago but no one has called back. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

I was just about to ask if you'd spoken to anyone. That sucks that they haven't called you back! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yeah. I wondered if it is IBS from the stress / drugs / poor diet etc but that doesn't explain why it hurts. It is probably nothing, I'm not unwell as such. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Been there done that. I'm not constipated, it's just the gas is stuck and hurting like crazy. I'm so bloated DH says I now look 6mths pregnant. Also have fluid retention.. My belly is huge, hard and sore. No luck getting the nurses still. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Hmm Fiona, I am experiencing this.
Did you get any answers from the nurses?? I am also finding that I can only eat toddler size portions of food and since D&C on Monday have only had 2 bowel movements, but dont feel constipated as such. Getting tummy aches (right up in my stomache) after meals and a glass of water fills me up completely. I came home from hospital weighing 2kg more than I did when I went in and it hasnt budged.... Very strange. -------------
