Miscarriage support

Bunny

Could I ask a question please, I've never had a miscarriage myself, so can't imagine how it feels, My husband knows of someone who has just lost a baby at around 21 weeks pregnant, we've sent them our thoughts via text, but was thinking about sending a card.
Would you have liked a card?
I said if I send one she has a choice to either put it up or throw it away, whereas if I don't send one, then she can't do either.

Hi bunny- we recieved a couple of cards, which was a lovely thought and meant a lot but i did throw them away as i didnt want a reminder.
I would say a card will explain that you are thinking of them. Xx

Hello Bunny,
You are kind to try to check out what you should do - well done you.
I think yes, a card would be lovely. Even if it just says that you're thinking of them, it feels like the right thing to do.

Thank you for the quick replies. I'll send a card.

I'd say yes a card is good as it's the sort of thing you don't have to actually put up but you can keep it. It's nice to have acknowledgement of it as if you have a live baby then everyone sends you cards. If you know them well enough, a box of hankies is useful as you get through quite a lot.

I would love to have received a card from the long distance relatives that knew, I wouldn't have put them up in the lounge, but perhaps it my bedroom? Just don't leave it too long, I wouldn't want to receive that now, as getting through the upset.

I also agree that a card is a lovely thought, I certainly appreciated the ones that I got.

Had my GP appointment for the consultant referral yesterday - what a lot of blood test forms!!:eek: Got to have one lot at CD5, another at CD21, then another lot with my OH. I actually think the witch is imminent, not often I wish for her but always do after mc

How long normally until a period? My mc was 19th March, but started a few days before,is it likely to be just over a month before I come on? Maybe last week of April? Just want to get on and get pregnant, can't keep looking at babies and not have one!
I have BD for 2 weeks, nearly every other day, pg test neg this morning & don't feel pg. Last time I knew I was pg but test wasn't +tive for another week!
Any of you that mc'd around the same time as me had 'the witch' yet?
