Odd comment from nurse today.

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I went to the dr office today for a follow up.  The nurse asked me if I was in the hospital this weekend and I said yes.  She then asked me if my LO was in the waiting room...I said yes.  She asked how old...I said 7 months.  Then said says, "So, this is probably a good thing, you don't want two in diapers".  I was a little taken back.

    What an awful thing to say!  I know that they think they are being helpful, but I don't even see how people could be so off-base.  I'm sorry.  You would think that health care professionals would have more tact.

    Yeah, this weekend, I went out with two of my girlfriends.  One just had a baby about a months ago, and one is single w/no kids.  My single friends says to the other, "It's so good to see you out and about again, and not pregnant anymore!"  Ok, so this is appropriate for her because she has a baby.  But then she turns to me and says, "And you too!"  WTF?  I mean, I missed having a glass of wine or two, but this wasn't a good thing.

    Who is she to say when you are ready to have a second! Granted I don't want 2 in diapers but still IF you want to I would never say that to you! I am sorry someone had the lack of manners to say this! I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope you are doing ok. Hugs

    I would go directly to her supervisor and say something and then write a formal letter of complaint!  I'm like that though.  What a biatch!

    I am so sorry, she is ignorant.  I really wish people would use their god given filter, then the rest of the world wouldn't have to suffer through the stupid comments.  I don't know what else to say, I'm just really sorry you had to hear her say that.

    I'm sorry, that is totally unacceptable from anyone much less someone who works in the medical field.  I would report her if I were you and would not even feel bad if she lost her job.  At the least maybe they will make her take some kind of sensitive training.

    That is unbelievably rude and that comment had to come from someone who has never had a m/c..  It would have been really hard for me to resist the urge to slap her!    I cannot believe someone would actually say that...

    That is insane! What the hell is her problem. You need to report her. There is no reason for you to have to endure that type of bedside manner. I am so sorry she said that.
