Abstract

This handout explains what to expect after having a surgical D&C (dilation and curettage procedure) or MUA (manual uterine aspiration) in the first trimester of pregnancy. It includes self-care, activity restrictions, and when to call the clinic. A D&C is done in an operating room, but an MUA is done in the clinic.
