After Giving Birth | Incomplete Miscarriage

Occasionally your doctor may request a Pregnancy Follow Up Scan or Post Partum Scan if you have any bleeding in the weeks after your baby is born or after a miscarriage.

The scan is done:

• To make sure all your placenta has been delivered completely
• If you have miscarried and are still experiencing some bleeding.

Should the reults of the scan reveal retained products of your pregnancy the Sonographer or Consultant may offer two solutions:

1. Conservative/Expectant Managament - i.e. let nature take its course
2. Have a procedure known as a D&C (Dilation & Curettage) 

You may be able to have a D&C performed on the NHS or if you prefer we can recommend a private service. 

The scan will normally be performed internally and is not painful.
