I have my D&C tomorrow and I am wondering how long you took off? I would like to return to work Wednesday. Did you feel that you needed an extra day or so after?
I had mine Friday, so I had the weekend to recover. I would have been ready for work physically, but it helped me mentally to have that extra time. Definitely take all day Tuesday at the very least.
Thanks, I have all of Tuesday off and my mom is coming here. I took Friday off b/c I found out Friday and I was a wreck. Wednesday is Halloween and I am a teacher, so this is such a special day with my kids and I think maybe coming to work to be with them will be better than laying in my bed alone all day....I barely moved from bed all weekend.
I don't really have any advice, I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss. I would at least take a couple of days off to recover emotionally.

First, so sorry for your loss. As for going back to work, my doc didn't want me standing for more than a few minutes at a time for the first 48hrs. I had my d&c on a Wednesday night, was supposed to work Thursday and was told to call off. Honestly, I slept pretty much all day Thursday and most of Friday. We went to dinner Friday night and then walked around doing some window shopping- after an hour of walking I was exhausted and sore. It took me a week before I felt 100% myself- but I'm also anesthesia sensitive. GL :0)

I had mine at 9:00 on at Tuesday morning. I slept most of the day on Tuesday. Personally, I would not have been ready to go back to work on Wednesday. I actually went back Thursday and then ended up taking Friday off too because I overdid it Thursday (I also work in a school). I was surprised, and really hadn't expected to take that much time off. Luckily, all of my co-workers were extremely supportive (and actually, I'm pretty sure my AP never even entered my time off when I turned in my leave form - they are really great).
I had my d&c friday and they kept me over night in the hospital, let me go saturday. I ended up going to work today. I really wish I didn't and could have taken today and a few days off, but I feel like I don't have a choice. They would have let me come home today, but if you don't work you don't get paid since i'm currently an intern.
I'd say if you can take off a few days and your job will let you, I would take a few days off.
Thanks ladies, I think ill take off tomorrow. Thursday ill try to go all day but can take a half day if needed.
Headed to the hospital for my D&C in a couple hours. I just want to wake up with some relief and hope for the future. I just feel icky physically and emotionally numb.

Sorry for your loss.
I took a week and a half off work. Physically I only needed about 3 days off but emotionally I was a wreck and needed some "me" time.
