One week later

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

It was my first day back at work yesterday, a week after my m/c. I think I coped rather well (whatever that means) and ended the day with my first glass of wine in months. Boy, I can't tell you how good it tasted.

Then today, I visited a large craft supplies shop and managed to get very anxious in a very short period of time. Women with babies. An annoyingly loud man with a toddler. Children blocking the aisles. Groups of women in my way as they discuss their projects in great detail, projects which I don't care about. All I want is to get what I came for and leave. I almost lost it near the Christmas tree decorations, but managed to hold it together and scowl at everyone instead.

I suppose it gets easier. Here's hoping.

    Yeah, it sucks but it will get easier.  I'm about 5 weeks after delivery and still get sad when I see babies, but it's not as bad as it was a week after.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I think being the holidays, it may suck just a little worse though.

    I also went back to work this week after being off all last week. I am a kdg teacher, so everyone knew I was gone and eventually knew I had a m/c. They knew I didn't want to talk about it, so they avoided me like the plague! Which I guess it what I wanted, but felt so awkward! I am so glad I only had 2 days of work this week and so glad its over. I am glad you made it through your first day(s). I gotta believe it gets easier. Hang in there. T & P with you! :)

    I am one week post miscarriage and I agree...it sucks...I find myself doing ok and then 2 seconds later I am in a breakdown. I am dreading going back to work. My miscarriage happened at work and I know people were whispering. I was supposed to work Thanksgiving and today, the joys of being a nurse. I have to go tomorrow...well I don't have to, but my DH thinks it will be a good for me to get out of the house and try and get my mind off of it...I kinda agree, but im still petrified to go tomorrow. I don't want to have a melt down...I have believe it gets easier. It is so comforting to know other people know exactly how you feel. Hang in there...hugs!
