Sorry in advance, because I'm sure this is going to be a rambling post... I miscarried today at 8 wks with first pregnancy. It started on my way to work (I'm a teacher) and when I realised what was happening I called sick and went home. My OH is away for work but my friend, bless her, dropped everything to come over and help me.
I don't feel quite real about what's happened. I just can't face the idea of going into school tomorrow, but I'm also worried because my HoD called and had a massive go about ringing in sick too late. I get it, because it really does leave them in a difficult situation and we're short-handed anyway at the moment. So I really should go in, but I feel totally exhausted and the idea of going to work just makes me want to cry... I should add that I love teaching and my job and this isn't like me at all! So I just don't know what to do.
If anyone has any advice, I'd be so grateful.
