Miscarriage on my own. It's all so rubbish isn't it?

[scooterbear]

Currently sitting in a and e waiting to be seen for complications around a miscarriage I had two weeks ago. On my own as DP not allowed in due to Covid.
Passed 30 (I counted) ambulances in the waiting area outside on my way in.
Nurses run ragged.
Old people sitting here on their own-some can't hear when being said or their name being called and they are anxious and it's awful.
I just can't believe we are still living like this nearly two years on.
Sorry-don t even know why I'm posting really except only DP knows where I am in real life as we hadn't told anyone else and I guess seeing the news about Boris and his parties last year has just been the last straw on top of everything else. I can't stop crying, sitting here on my own.

I feel for you. Miscarriages are isolating enough without covid restrictions.

I am so very sorry. This is so unfair and hard on you. Big hugs and I hope you can get past this and get some support.

It is awful I hospitals right now. My son (6) was stuck in a corridor with breathing difficulties for hours. It's awful.

I'm so sorry for your loss and the whole situation. I hope you're able to go home soon and have lots of hugs ❤

I am so sorry.. No one should have to go through this alone. It feels very callous that you are expected to..

Bless you op
Yes it’s shit…I’ve been admitted to hospital 3 times since the pandemic and it’s really lonely

So sorry, yes agree nobody should be alone whilst waiting in A&E.

That's utterly miserable for you, OP. And for everyone else in there too.

Big massive hugs 🫂
I’m sorry
It totally shit

I am really sorry to hear that op! Whilst I totally agree with you about what shambles it is. I feel like covid has just heightened existing problems in the nhs (no denying covid has made it a lot worse). Even before covid ambulances would often be queued outside the hospitals close to me, when my grandpa was rushed to hospital and sadly died in earlier 2020 we were allowed to be with him and there was elderly people in the corridors in a&e in beds waiting to be seen. Covid has just made things a lot worse, it's so sad to see!

But yes it's totally shit you have to be alone! You have my sympathy 💕

I'm so sorry @scooterbear.

I've been there.

But not in my own.

I can't believe we're still letting covid do this to us either.

Or that number 10 can have parties when parties are illegal, but people who need it can't have support.

Thankyou all x it's actually made me feel better that people have replied-I wasn't really expecting it-but it's nice to be thought of-even by random strangers
I have to stay in overnight unfortunately. All I want to do is go home really.

Mumsnet is great for that, isn't it?

Oh no. I'm sorry you need to stay in overnight.

I suppose if you have to, you have to.

I hope you get some reasonable sleep, and they get you home decently early in the morning for a proper rest.

I’m thinking of you and sending you the biggest hug. I went through similar last year and it was shit. Just get through this night for now, things will get better xxx

How was your night OP? Hope you managed to sleep. x

Not much sleep-loud on the ward and just anxious about missing work (I'm a social worker and my caseload is crazy), Christmas stuff, how to get the kids where they need to be... feel a bit weepy. really just want to go home and get in bed and stay there. Have to have a little operation this morning, Hopefully home by evening.
Just feel so sorry for the people here that are stuck in with no visitors. There is an 80 year old woman in the bed next to me who is a bit confused and thinks everyone is her daughter coming to see her. It's really sad .
Thanks for Checking in on me-it's so appreciated x

Oh scooterbear I so sympathise .I remember years ago being in hospital and being so aware of all the distress around me ,overworked staff included .I'm inclined to over empathise anyway but I think being unwell leaves you more vulnerable,as if you're missing an outer skin .

It must be SO much worse now and your job must be so stressful even without current issues ,personal and pandemic/austerity wise .

I'm thinking of you ,crossing everything that you get home today and can soon be snuggled up in your own bed .

hugs to you and your poor husband

I'm so sorry @scooterbear. I hope you're home really quickly.

When did we stop allowing visitors into hospitals again?! I thought partners were allowed to accompany you to scans & appointments etc now and you could have someone visit a relative?! Last year, I was my grannies designated hospital visitor. We had to pick one person.. I’m amazed that’s all stopped again 🤯

That would break me a little too.

Hope you're home soon.
