So weird to explain to coworkers...

in TTC After a Loss
That I had a m/c.  They all knew because I'm a nurse and we had a swine flu patient.  Someone just came up to me and asked "How are the two of you doing?" Since it's been 3 weeks I'm not as teary - at least not to coworkers - and don't want them to think I'm cold hearted when I told them I m/c'd without tears.  I kind of just shrug and say hopefully someday, it wasn't meant to be.  I just don't know what to say to people I'm not close to.  Awkward!  Sometimes I hate working in the medical profession. If I had a desk job no one would have needed to know until 12 weeks!

    I am sorry. I know how that feels.. people were asking him and talking to me for a long time after my m/c. it is very awkward lol.. just do that best you can. I have resigned to just telling people I don't want to talk about it. "Thanks for asking, I'd rather not talk about it" (HUGS)

    I had one of the managers at work tell the other employees so I didn't have to. Next time I think I will wait as long as I can to tell people at work.

    I had to tell people at work because I am a hairstylist and there was one service I could no longer do and I had one scheduled the day I found out I was KU.  So when I was going through the m/c I told the receptionist, and asked her to "spread" the news because I knew I wouldn't want to talk about when I returned to work.  Now I will no longer do that service until after I have had a baby because I don't want to have to tell anyone until I am ready.  It's costing me alot of money, but it's worth it!
