Absolutely appalled at the lack of compassion in some of these comments.
The loads-of-women-miscarry-stick-a-maxi-pad-on-and get-over-yourself brigade can get utterly fucked.
Good for you, if that's how you want to deal with it.
But as someone who has lost five babies in four pregnancies with varying degrees of horror and hospitalisation, I am utterly disgusted that we can't all agree that a woman going through something horrendous should be at the very least entitled to some fucking paid time away from the office to grieve and recover.
If you were able to crack on then good for fucking you. Don't take any time off if you don't want it, but don't dare tell someone else it's nbd.
One of my miscarriages put me in intensive care and I was off work for a couple of months.
I considered myself "lucky", because it meant nobody could argue with the time off because I'd nearly died. I didn't give a shiny shit about that, I was absolutely mashed up at the loss of my baby. I did work through another miscarriage, under different circumstances, partly because I felt able to and partly because my boss had made it clear she didn't want me to try and have a baby again because of the impact on the business.
A decade later I am not over it.
