Aibu?

So last Sunday I started bleeding, I should have been 6 weeks pregnant. I went to mh doctors and they sent me to the hospital for a scan and blood tests. They told me they were worried about ectopic pregnancy and to wait at home resting but not to do anything strenuous or to go too far from the hospital. Obviously I panicked.

Anyway I was going back for repeat bloods every 48 hours which were staying the same and my hormones weren't dropping or rising. So they said either ectopic or just a miscarriage.

Saturday night I passed the pregnancy (I've had a mc before so knew what it was). I rang epau who had been seeing me and asked for a sick note. They told me they don't give out sick notes for this kind of thing? They told me to contact GP but he told me as I haven't been seeing him for this I need to get it from the hospital. I don't understand. I've literally just miscarried. I'm still bleeding. All I wanted was a week to come to terms with another loss and have some time to pull myself back together. I do quite a manual job. I said this to the lady on the phone at the hospital and she was quite dismissive saying the 'head nurse' would put a note on my file that I wanted a sick note for in two weeks time when I go back to have bloods checked again. This is no use to me so here I am back at work. I'm hiding in the toilets to type this. My boss is aware I've miscarried and was surprised to see me back this morning.

Aibu? I'm not trying to skive I just wanted some time.

Yes I feel exactly like that, especially (judgy cow moment) when I see people smoking outside the hospital heavily pregnant etc. I have to keep reminding myself that just because I've had losses doesn't mean anything to them and their pregnancy! We will get there one day, even if we can't have biological children I'm going to fill this house with a happy family :-) anyway I just wanted to update that I am at home with sick note and taking it easy with my two lovely dogs and a husband who keeps over feeding me chocolate (if you can possibly have too much chocolate) thank you for all your help and kindness to a stranger over the internet xxxxx
