Wow. I hope she was talking about being psychically better from the surgery and not that you should be better after losing a baby. How awful!
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.
It amazes me the comments some people make. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt because I know it can be awkward and they don't know what to say, but come on! At least use some common sense, of course you are not "better!" I'm sorry that you have to deal with that. ((Hugs))

That's just crazy! The things that I have been told are ridiculous as well! The most recent very hurtful one was "You kids are young. Plenty of time for making babies." Are you kidding? That is no comforting when we are mourning our child we just lost. T & P your way from me.
I am so sorry for your loss. Some people just don't have the ability to put themselves in another person's shoes. Both my parents told me it might have been my fault. I was taking SSRI's prior to finding out I was pregnant so my Dad told me it was probably the drugs that did it. I also smoked cigarettes for many years but stopped when my husband and I decided to start trying, my Mom told me it was probably the smoking and I should tell my Dr.
Good luck and remember there are plenty of people who will understand what you're going through.
Oh Shadow, that is awful! My mom asked if I fell down the stairs. Clueless! Well thanks for the kinds thoughts and prayers. I'm waiting to hear from the doctors for my levels. Once I zero out, I think it will get easier. Good luck to everyone!
So sorry for your loss and to have to listen to those kinds of comments. This is my fourth loss and as such we did not really tell anymore we were pregnant because while we were hoping for good news, we were not necessarily expecting it. So instead at work, I get my coworkers constantly asking if we are "pregnant yet?", "better hurry up, clocks ticking!" and other such comments. I realize they don't know what's going on but it does make me want to either cry and strangle them depending on the day. I guess if you have never experiencing a loss you just assume everyone has an easy time with getting pregnant.
