*TW* Miscarriage

Yesterday I had a miscarriage in hospital at 8 weeks.

I am completely lost.

I wasn't going to keep the pregnancy due to too many health risks.
When I told a senior nurse what happened she asked "was it a wanted pregnancy".
I didn't say yes or no I said simply how I was booked in for surgery termination next week

She responds with "oh! So you should be happy you had a miscarriage then!"
I... I can't believe someone in her position would say that
Happy? That i spent the night scared I was bleeding out? Doubled over in the worst pain ever? Thinking I was dying?

How could ANYONE be happy going through that?!

Hello Dear Quietlily,

I listened to your post and felt very sad that you had to go through the pain of a miscarriage....Even though you were scheduled for a termination of pregnancy it doesn’t make things an easier...

What the senior nurse said...was very disrespectful and uncaring of you and your mental health....I am sorry she said that to you...

I hope today your feeling a little better after your painful miscarriage yesterday...the nurses or doctor at least one of them should have given you pain relief and be their with you explaining what was happening to you....No wonder you felt so scared....

Here for you dear Quietlily...if you feel up to talking..do so anytime you feel ready to.,

My kindest and most caring thoughts..lovely Quietlily...

Grandy..
