I also had two because of miscarriages and I didn't have pain afterwards. I was lucky to go on to have 2 more children after the miscarriages. I also had a complete hysterectomy. I loved that surgery. I was done having children and I love not having periods any more. I tell all my friends that it should be an elective surgery once you are done having children. LOL I had my hysterectomy on Monday night and on the way home on Wednesday stopped at the park for my sons 1st grade picnic. My friends thought I was crazy but a mom had to do what a mom has to do. The next day I was at the school for my kindergarten daughters graduation. All three of my children were born by c-section but I have to say that the hysterectomy was the easiest one. I actually felt good after two weeks. So if you end up still needing a hysterectomy don't be afraid.
