miscarriage

Hi Thank you all for your support. I'm feeling a lot better today. I have spoken to friends who know people who have miscarried and similar (or worse) has happened to them. I'm going to do what someone else mentioned in this chat room which is to plant a tree in the garden in rememberence. I suppose its just a case of taking time to come to terms with it, but I do feel a lot better than I did. Thank you. xx

miscarriage

Hi I had a miscarriage this week. I was 7 1/2 wks. I had been 'spotting' for a week but it got worse until Wednesday night when I got what felt like really bad period pains. I rang the hospital to ask advice and they were kind and said I could go in the next day to be checked over if I felt I needed to..approx 30 minutes later I miscarried. It has really shocked me how bad I feel because I have heard of women miscarrying when they go to the toilet but I didnt quite make it and it fell on the floor. The part I cant stop thinking about is that I had to pick it up and put it in the toilet. I rang the hospital to tell them and they asked if I had kept the 'product' as they could check that everything was there. I felt horrible that I had flushed 'my baby' down the toilet and thats all I can think of at the moment...I wish they had told me this the first time I rang so I would have been prepared. I just get so upset to think that I have flushed my baby down the toilet. Sorry to be so graphic but I need to know if this was the normal thing to do. Thanks
