Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

I'm not ashamed to say...

1) I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow. I'm ready to get back to my normal life. 

2) I've watched an embarrassing amount of One Tree Hill the past three days. I've had my own mini-marathon. I'm on season 2-disc 4. I'm shamelessly watching episode after episode and drinking my weight in sweet tea. 

3) I'm glad I'm standing up for myself with my doctor and getting a second opinion. I'm usually so quiet and subdued. I say screw that this go round. This is my life-and more importantly-my babies' lives I'm dealing with here-"These things just happen" is NOT enough for me.

  • Sounds like you are on the mend!  Good for you...and yes, get a doctor you like.  Things like this definitely put things in perspective and make you realize that life is too short to put up with any crap!

  • You go girl! I returned to work today, and it was great. I am absolutely exhausted, but I finally feel like my day had a purpose again. 

    I think you are very smart to be vocal with the 2nd opinion you are seeking.

  • Good for you!  I watched an absurd amount of Gossip Girl on Netflix the first few days, those kinds of shows are a great mind-numbing distraction!  

    You should get more clarity with your doctor too, you have a right to push for more information, more tests, etc.

  • Good for you!  I don't think you should be ashamed of any of that!  I actually went back to work today.  I had the worst part of my natural m/c last night at around 2:30.  I lasted till about 2:00 pm. at work then had to come home.  I'm annoyed and frustrated because I want to just move on with my life, and I physically can't yet.

     I'm eager to hear about your new doc and how that goes!  I hope this one doesn't screw you around like the last one!
