    I agree with the others, you need time off work as it can get a bit harrowing emotionally and physically. Your experience will be individual to yourselves and can't be second guessed, all 3 of my miscarriages have been totally different in terms of pain, bleeding and length, but the common thing amongst them is that there is no way I'd want to be at work.

    If it gets really unbearable so you can't sleep/function, please think about going to A&E - they might be able to give you something stronger to deal with the pain.

    I remember the emotions - I think I did a mixture of having a good cry, distracting myself (films, going for a walk etc) and reading forums etc talking other people having been through similar for moral support. Whatever works for you.

    So sorry tt39.

    If you can get to A and E they might give you something to make you sleep. I had some oral mophine in hospital because I was so distressed and in a lot of pain after a D&C. They would not let me pass naturally as my levels were still going up even though the baby died three weeks before.

    I went straight back to work. I just took a day off and made up the hours.

    In hindsight I should of taken the sick note I was offered. I am extreamly distressed now which is evident in almost everything I do. Another pregnancy announcement of a close friend who is due just when I was had really knocked me back - not like I can avoid her - it is not her fault and she doesn't know but I am so bitter which is pathetic to me - it just wasn't meant to be but I still want to cry myself to sleep tonight.

    Just do what ever you need to do for you. I can not imagine what it is like to pass the pregnancy. Get a hot water bottle, buy some rubbish food, cry if you need to just look after yourself.

    Will be thinking of you. xx

    I know. It is like a big kick in the uterus.

    Heads up high I like this saying......

    I think sometimes we need to remember that just because it didn't go to plan or at the time we wanted doesn't mean it won't ever happen it just means that all good things come to those who wait. And with that in mind, I am going to wait patiently - sometimes things are not meant to be.

    that's lovely SamToby - will help me deal with my close friend who I admit I have distanced myself from since she announced her pregnany. (she didn't do it in the best way and has even emailed me scan photos!)
    TTC39 - how are you this morning? xx

    Hi
    Just back from docs, he has managed to get me in to the emergency gynae dept at 12.

    Signed me off for a week - I don't think this is long enough but I guess I will just have to bounce back sharpish :-(

    Seemed to think as it is passing naturally there is little they will do - but at least will know it all away/ coming away ok.

    In a lot of pain today - sitting here with hot water bottle and have took more painkillers.

    Husband is here looking after me even though he will be so behind with his work - self employed. Bless him I told him to go work but he refused.

    Hope you are all ok today? Xx
