In 1975 I was working as an RN on a surgical unit of a community hospital. One evening I answered a call light for a woman who was cramping post D&C and needed a bedpan. I helped her, then came back a few minutes later to check on her. She said she was feeling so much better after passing that last big clot. I don't know if anyone ever told her it was a 5 inch fetus.
So true. I am old enough to remember when Catholic women had a "D&C" for "menstrual problems" as a way to cover up an early abortion.
Absolutely true! During the 70s, my mother, her sisters and friends had no problem getting D&Cs for “late periods”.
By the way, my mother has always been anti-abortion. But D&C, that’s a necessary medical procedure, in her opinion.
