Sad morning (DD mentioned)

jay-tea · May 2010

Sunday is DD's 3rd bday, so I took her in for her physical this am - she did great (yay), then off to the radiology place for a u/s on her throat - she has a thyroglossal duct cyst. Anyway - we had a 9:30 appt and got there on time and were in the waiting room talking to this really super nice pg lady (I was proud of myself for being social since she was playing with DD. She went back for her u/s and then about 45 mins later we still hadn't been called. I went to the front to see what was up and they said they had an "emergency" in the u/s room and it would be a few more mins. Unfortunately the emergency turned out to be the lady finding out that she was m/c. Made me sad.

That would have made me sad too. Happy early birthday to your DD.

That's awful. That poor woman. I remember that moment and I wouldn't want anyone to have to experience that.

That is so, so sad. I've been in that position twice, where I've found out in the u/s room, and it's just awful. My heart breaks for her.

That makes me so sad. So sad for her.

I remember waiting for my u/s at the high risk ob and being so happy, then walking out bawling my eyes out and walking out with the waiting room full of pregnant women looking at me. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I will never forget that, as I'm sure she will never forget this day. I hate that anyone has to go through this.

That actually brings tears to my eyes. I'm so sorry for that poor woman.

That's how we found out also. Heartbreaking for her.

There was a couple waiting in the waiting room after an ultrasound at an appointment I head this month and the woman was crying. I don't know what they found out, but I heard them giving her info on a specialist. It's amazing how I never noticed thigns like this before my loss.

I was that lady once.

That's terrible. One of the hardest parts for me after finding out about my missed m/cs were walking out afterwards. It almost felt like the "walk of shame." I would try to hold my tears back until we got out of there, but my face was still red and puffy from the crying I had already done. I would just keep my head down and practically run out of the offices. I felt like everyone was staring at me. It makes me sad to know that this woman probably felt similar and that she received the worst news of her life in a public place.

Everyone here can relate to her, and that alone makes me sad.

what really made it worse was that she was alone. I really wish I could have given her a hug.

With my last pregnancy, they didn't allow children in the u/s room. We had DS with us because no one informed us of this policy. DH had to wait in the waiting room with DS because they weren't willing to budge. I knew it was bad news at the beginning. When the tech was going to get the doctor, I finally said, "Can I please go get my husband now?" She said, "We don't really like having kids back here, but I think we can make an exception this time." I had to walk out in the waiting room full of pregnant women with tears running down to find DH, and then do it again after we left. I was alone when I found out, but DH was nearby. I don't know what I would have done had he not been there at all.

How awful for that poor woman.

Happy birthday wishes to your DD!

The walk of shame was definately one of the low points for me. The place I was at this morning was different from where I had my pg u/s's. (I didn't want to take DD to that one) This place actually had a door that bypasses the waiting room and goes right outside.

I remember that moment all too well. They told me and sent me on my way (I was alone). I was sobbing as I'm leaving and had someone on the elevator ask if I was okay and if she could pray for me. I couldn't even reply. It's awful:( My heart breaks for her.

Happy early B-Day to your DD!!!!
