Its my first day back at work since my D&C and I want to run! I'm hoping that nobody says anything that's bound to make me emotional. Lord give me strength.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
Today went surprisingly well. I do have to say I'm glad to be off and heading home. I ready for privacy to be able to cry. It dawned on me today that it had been exactly a week since my Dr informed me that there was no growth and no longer a heart beat. It doesn't feel like it was a week ago. It feels more like it was yesterday.
I was just wondering how long everyone else took off of work. I found out on Wednesday that I lost the baby. D&c yesterday and I'm wondering when emotionally ill be ok to go to work? Does anyone else find that they cry at any given moment..one second ur fine and the next ur crying? I'm glad to hear u did well at work...makes me think maybe I can handle it too
I found out last Monday (21st) and went to work afterwards (think its because I didn't know where else to go and it kept me sidetracked) had d&c last Thursday (24th) and went back to work Monday (28th). I was okay but the entire week sucked until Thursday. Today is actually the first day that I haven't cried which I'm really excited about!!! Honestly though I think it depends on the person. I still don't want to be around people I kinda just want to be at home with my DH which a friend o mine (who has had a mc) said that it took her a few weeks to get back to her new normal.
I took the pills instead of a D&C and did not take any time off work. I had some trouble concentrating at times, but being busy at work was better for me mentally than sitting around the house were I had nothing to take my mind off the loss. I have an office with a door, so if I needed to cry or call the doctor I could shut my door, so that really helped. I also can hide out in my office most days and avoid people if needed.
Just do what is best for you, only you can decide. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to heal, whether that's by staying busy or staying a bed a few extra days. GL! T&P
