I am hopeful that the worst is over- physically at least

what a crappy weekend.

Friday night- trip to er at 11w4days- discovered missed m/c after hearing the hb twice. Did not get home until 4 am and did not sleep all night and next day.

Saturday- emotionally a mess/physically not too bad- mostly just spotting

Sunday- woke up to horrible, horrible painful cramps, mass amts of bleeding and passing of the sac and tissue

Monday- went to ob/gyn for u/s. Was sure that everything had passed but boy was I wrong. Found out that I had a partial m/c. So depressing. Horrible cramps again. Went back to ER for d&c. Luckily, we were admitted to the women's wing right away and had a much better experience than on Friday. Had the d&c and am not feeling the pain anymore. I am feeling better emotionally, too, although I think I'm still in the "surreal phase".

Tomorrow I am staying home and recouperating. I hope to go to work on Wednesday as it is the end of the marking period and I have so much work to do (I'm a teacher).

I am sorry you had to go through all of that. I am a teacher too, so I understand the amount of work at the end of the marking period. I go back to work next Thursday. I have been out since March 16th. I am dreading it!

Get some rest kiddo -- had a rough weekend myself and looking at other posts, many others too...Too bad we can't all meet up for a spa day--we deserve it! Good luck with the end of the marking period. Be kind to yourself.

Ahh..what a nice thought. I'm so sorry we all have to endure such pain. I am happy to have found this board, though. It's definitely nice to have so many to relate to, even if it is under terrible circumstances.

I am so sorry for your loss. My D&C was Firday and I ended up staying home today too. I still felt too out of it to go to work (I work at a school too). I was definately in the surreal phase on Friday after the D&C - it may have been due to the meds in the i.v. as well. Yesterday I went to the grocery and I felt totally out of it, so I decided I just wasn't ready for work yet today.

I only wish I hadn't felt guilty about it because I still set my alarm this morning and then I had a hard time falling back to sleep once I decided to stay home for sure.

Just take it easy - if you need to stay home, you need to stay home. Could someone bring you your gradebook and could you enter the grades from home? At least you could stay home then.

Oh honey. I'm happy you are taking tomorrow off for yourself. So sorry for all you've been through. I hope you are healed up physically soon, and emotionally in your own time. (((HUGS)))

How aweful that you thought you were moving past that and had to continue with more. Take it easy, this takes a toll mentally and physically, much more than I had anticipated.
