I know this wasn't the case for me, but it is interesting info.

Yeah, it seems like the amount of cases is pretty small, but it's still good to know.
And, I DID IT!

I didn't get a chance to read the whole thing, but a co-worker had a doctor insistent on scheduling a D&C for her. She told the doctor that she could schedule it but she wouldn't show up and the only way she'd show up was if she was forcibly removed from her home. She knew in her heart the baby was ok and that the doc was wrong and that a few more weeks would prove that.
Her daughter just turned 16 :-)
That gave me chillbumps!

I do think many docs wait for a repeat scan. I wasn't given an option to end the pregnancy until my repeat scan confirmed no growth.
Melissa - so glad your friend listened to her gut!
On top of that, my friend had to have a hysterectomy so that ended up being her only shot. That horrible doc is still practicing here so I made sure that's not who I got when I changed practices.
Of course, her daughter now rolls her eyes every time her mom refers to her as her "miracle baby." :-)

This makes me think about a friend of mine who recently had a D&C. She went to the ER with spotting, had one u/s where they didn't find a fetal pole, despite a positive urine test, and then only had one baseline HCG level blood draw. She had a D&C two days later. This kind of article really makes you think...

I really think it's a personal decision. By my second scan, I was 4 weeks past the dates the baby stopped growing and my body showed NO signs of eviction. I would have been an even more emotional wreck if I continued to wait for a natural miscarriage.
