thought I was holding things together ok until OH's insurance company just phoned to tell me I needed to get my doctor to confirm I am not having an abortion, before they will cover it. I am sure they could have found a more sensitive way of dealing with this situation, if they'd given it a little thought.

Oh Nicki that's horrible

I think you should complain about that when you feel better, they could have just asked for your doctors information without saying that to you xx

I'm so sorry for your loss Nicki and also sorry that you have had to deal with such insensitivity - it's bad enough without having to deal with that kind of thing.

Disgraceful. Poor you and how horrible. x

I'm really sad to be joining this thread today. I started bleeding on Saturday and this morning it was confirmed that my little one has not made it, and I am booked for an ERPC tomorrow afternoon.

Please can anyone who has had this done, tell me what I will need afterwards, or to take with me. Am trying to be practical and make arrangements for my other kids and for the aftermath today. I imagine I will need more pads for the next few days, but is that all?

Still feeling quite shellshocked. We spent the weekend flip-flopping between utter despair and faint hope, but when I woke up this morning and my small pregnancy bloat was gone and my jeans slipped on easily, I knew in my heart it was gone. I still have the sore boobs and the morning sickness but the doctor says this should go quickly after the op tomorrow.

First of all sorry for your loss

You will just need pads and I suggest painkillers.

From miscarriage a few weeks ago, I'd say it took a good fortnight for my boobs to go back to normal but I did lose my pregnancy tum very quickly.

Good luck xxx

As most on here will know I lost my little girl at 27 weeks. I got a letter from the council on sat asking why i hadn't registered the birth of my daughter born on 08/07 and telling me they would take me to court if i didnt etc. I was so upset i called them this morning and said that there would have been nothing i would have liked to do more than reg my babys birth but couldnt as she was stillborn and that the still birth had been reg. I was maybe a bit harsh with the girl but i was so cross - The way the letter was worded just really got me. I was in total pieces.

I'm so sorry their incompetence has caused you further upset. I realise you may not feel up to it but if you did (or have a friend who can write on your behalf), perhaps it might be worth sending a letter suggesting that as standard procedure they check whether it was a still birth before contacting the parents. I'm impressed you were able to phone yourself - I had a friend phoning Tesco today because they're still sending me baby club mailings.

Oh freebies.. that is appalling... I hope they apologised profusely and if they didnt get OH or someone to write and complain if you cannot do it yourself.. and tell them you will be taking them to court for causing you undue distress and grief!.. that is a disgusting thing to have happen to you.. big big hugs... xx

Susan.. if you login to the tesco site you can stop the mailings
