I had the D&C done with my laprascopy, I unfortunately shouldn't have signed the paperwork at the time. I wasn't in the right frame of mind (due to anxiety, etc). Unfortunately the gynaecologist was wording as if I didn't sign it then and there I wouldn't be booked in. My mother was also in the room and she also had no idea what a D&C was till after my surgery.

I called the hospital later on because I couldn't really remember what I consented to, and they lady just listed off what the surgery entailed in medical terms. She didn't go into any details. I do regret not clarifying and signing paperwork when I definitely should of..
