dumb ER doctor...

in Late Term and Child Loss
I had to go back to the ER today for severe pain in my right side, coinciding with my first period since delivering.  Luckily it's just kidney stones... nothing serious.  What got me was that the ER doc referred to my loss as a miscarriage.  The first time could have been innocent... he asked when I had miscarried.  I told him 31 weeks.  At that point he should have realized that he should have said stillbirth or something of the like.  Then he did it AGAIN!  You would think that an OB would have a little more sense than this!  Ugh!

    First of all- what an a$$!  And also, I had kidney stones after my first pregancy and they are AWFUL!   I hope you are feeling better and they have passed, and if not then I hope they pass soon.  (((HUGS)))

    I'm really sorry. I really hate when people refer to my loss as a miscarriage as well because it just isn't the same.

    I'm so sorry. :(  A stillbirth is nothing like a miscarriage and doctors of all people should know better.
