Came to the emergency department for d&c after knowing baby has no heart beat due to early pregnancy loss. After 4-6 hours of waiting and seeing doctors they let me know they can't do d&c that day, because other important emergency cases. Told us to go home & come next day at early pregnancy unit.
Next day went there in the morning and after all the waiting and seeing doctors, got a bed about 5 hours later and we been told D&c will happen soon. About 2 hours later doctor came and told they couldn't do it because other important emergency. And doctors tried to send us home and told to come next day. We requested a lot but they couldn't do it, so my partner insisted that to stay at the hospital for the night, so she can have the d&c next morning.
At night near midnight she started getting serious cramps in abdomen and blood clots started to come out. At the time of writing this, she was still in pain, suffering at her bed, still no assurance to do the d&c early in morning, they just keep giving her pain medication after pain medication.
If they done the d&c on time, I believe she would not have to deal with the pain and depression she is going through now. I feel there is no humanity from the hospital regarding her mental side, she lost her baby and now we trying to get it out but it seems the hospital is not capable of doing that. I don't know how my partner can cope with this depression.
