Is D&C Advisable For Absence Of Cardiac Movement In Foetus?

I had an ultrasound today they said I was 8 weeks and 1 day but said they couldn t find any cardiac movement. This is my first pregnancy ever. 8 weeks puts me right at the time I was ovulating. They say it s a missed pregnancy and want to schedule a D&C. Should I wait or get a second opinion? If it is a missed pregnancy it wouldve had to happen like within the last few days but I ve had no spotting or bleeding and still getting morning sickness.
