D&C crappy people and timing-VENT!!!

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

So I went to the hospital for the D&C today.  I got checked in just fine with the receptionist.  They sent me to the waiting room and I had two choices to sit, an area with a new baby in a stroller or am area with a toddler happy with his dad.  Yeah, took me a few moments, but picked the area with the toddler and just blocked it out as much as I could with DH. 

They called us in and they gave me the nickle tour of the room and said to take off all my clothes and put on the gown. I let the ladies know I just started spotting and they said to keep on my panties.  After getting into my gown the same lady came back and started talking about her two year old boy and how he was soooo cute and would say that this boy wore underwear and this girl wore panties.  Make me vomit!  You know I am here for a D&C and you are here gushing over your perfect two year old while I deal with my second loss and have no LO at home.  The lady left and my DH (definitely a Dear for D on this!) said, "I thought I was going to hit that lady if she kept talking about her perfect little kid"  It was like he read my mind. 

The rest went ok, my recovery nurse listened to me cry for about 10 minutes and then brought me back to my room.  DH was there and he helped me get through the rest of the time at the hospital.

Thanks for the vent ladies!

    First of all, I am so sorry for your loss and that you had to go through all of this.

    I would have throat punched that woman, no joke. What on earth is wrong with people?

    ::Hugs::: and I hope you recovery goes smoothly. Take it easy, relax and let yourself heal, okay?

    I love your constant references to throat punches!  They do cheer me up a bit. You ladies have done wonders for my emotional recovery and I appreciate it everyday!  Thank you Thank you!

    I am trying to relax some, but it's hard for me.  We just bought and moved into a new house on Friday, but all I did was screw in the outlet covers and pull a little trim tape.  Will probably veg at the comp tomorrow wondering what fun times I am missing at work (so thick with sarcasm its ridiculous :) )

    Well that is crap! I am so sorry that nurse was insensitive to your situation. Very glad your husband was able to be there and support you though.
