TTC After a Loss
Back from doctor's apt.
The heart has stopped. It was actually the best news we could hope for. It means the waiting game is over. D&C is on for tomorrow... and to make my day a little brighter I have to be there at 7 AM... and the hospital is over an hour away in rush hour traffic.
And since the baby dying on Christmas wasn't salt in the wound enough, the medical assistant at the doc's. office apparently doesn't believe in reading charts...
HER: Ok, so we're doing just a consult right?
ME: Uh, no... I'm supposed to have an u/s.
HER: Oh, good. So we're looking at the baby today.
ME: Sorta, I guess.
HER: Just stares, frowning...
ME: We're confirming a mc. (mentally punches scrubs lady)

Thanks. Unfortunately this is my second D&C in 5 months... I feel like such a pro at this now. For me the worst part was that two minutes between waking and them kicking in the morphine shot... but yeah, if they don't hit that vein right away - the IV thing sucks too.
Overall I'm actually doing really well. Just making wildly inappropriate jokes now.
I've so very sorry all of this is happening. Then, having to deal with the ridiculously stupid nurse.
You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow.
If wildly inappropriate jokes help you get through this, then make as many as you want...and share them with us.
I'm so sorry. People are so insensitive about m/c's. I was talking with a friend today and she said that people are more sympathetic when someone loses a pet (which is arguably a VERY VERY painful experience....I'm a huge animal lover myself) than when someone miscarries. It's just amazing how little people think about the future parents' feelings...
I hope everything goes well and I will be thinking about you!
(((HUGS)))
This exactly...so so sorry. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
Sorry for the insensitive nurse, will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow.

I'm so sorry for your loss, BGP. I will be praying for you tomorrow.
As for the scrubs lady, ugh!!! Read the chart. She deserves a throat punch.
I am so sorry
I went through a similar nurse experience with every u/s with both m/c. What's the point of the chart if they aren't going to at least glance at it??

What a stupid b_tch. Like it's so hard to read a chart.
I'm so sorry you are going through this again. It's just not fair. At least you can make your inappropriate jokes around here and know that we'll all get it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I felt the same kind of relief during mine, I started bleeding and then stopped a few days before the m/c, everyone kept trying to tell me I was fine and the baby was fine but I knew and it was making me crazy. So when I finally did m/c it was a relief that 1)whatever was gonna happen did and it was over (until the grief set in) and 2) I wasn't insane and I really did know what was going on in my body.
And as for the crap nurse, I'd have kicked her square in the a-hole on her way out of the room...seriously...she would have had to dismount to leave the room.
