Back to work after MC not sure i am ready.

Krystle

Monday I went to the ER to confirm i had a MC took monday and yesterday off. Supposed to go back today. I had the followup with the OB today which was supposed to originally be the first ob appt for pregnancy...had to tell them when I got there it was lost. Its been a mentally tough day. The OB wasnt all that caring since it was my first pregnancy and MC.

I really dont want to go. I dont want to talk to anyone but i work for a call center so that is inevitable. Plus only 3 people at my job knew. A really close friend and the other 2 are my leadership. This is going to be extremely hard. I'm already off friday so I'm trying to tell myself its 2 days of work.

Even my husband has had a hard time with everyone continuously asking or talking about it.

Was it easy for you to just go back to normal life afterwards?

It's not easy. Staying busy really helped me, though, so maybe it's a good idea to at least attempt to power through it? Good luck. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I would take the days off if you can. I wasn't sure what to do by Tues last week. Was awaiting scan to confirm MC but was already pretty sure as previous scan and HCG were no good and bleeding had started. I had a huge presentation on the Wed that I just knew I wasn't up to. I spoke to my boss and was so glad I did. She told me she has been through this a number of times before and was so supportive. She encouraged me to take the rest of the week and now that I have had Misoprostol to help things along she is encouraging me to take next week too. Her thoughts are that even after the physical process is over, there will be a grieving process that is best not to rush. I hope you can get this support too. Sorry for your loss xxx

I could not stand being alone; however, everyone copes differently.  Almost three weeks ago I started having my miscarriage at 4:30am in the morning, I was almost at the 6th week of my pregnancy at that time. Thankfully my hubby was around and I had to be with my family all weekend during the first few days. It was tough spending time and taking care of my 5 month old baby niece while going through the miscarriage (but she definitely kept me busy!)...I knew being alone will only continue making me depressed about the whole situation of loosing our first. I had a few close friends know from the beginning and had to tell each and every one of them that I had a miscarriage, and I also told family. With each and every time, it got a little easier as reality sinks in hard. I cried each time I mentioned my miscarriage but I felt a bit of my sadness being lifted as I realized the overwhelming support from my friends and family. I never told anyone from work and only took one sick day off (because my Hubby was also off that day) before heading straight back to work. I did not want to be alone. I had moments where i had to close my office door and cry for a few minutes at work while recovering from my loss, but the deadlines and getting back to routine definitely helped kick start my recovery. I know that I just have to have faith in believing that there is a reason that this pregnancy did not work out and that eventually my rainbow will come with patience and time.Eventually you will figure out what works best for you. Good luck! Take care and get lots of cuddles from your hubby! <3
