Going abroad soon after mc

[K0013]

Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing ok today. I finally had medical management for my third mc this week after weeks of waiting for it to happen naturally. Relieved for the waiting to be over but feeling very lost now.
When we originally received the bad news my husband and I thought it would be nice to perhaps go abroad for a holiday to recover mentally and try to make sense of what has happened. Has anyone here gone abroad a week or less after their mc? I would really like to have a break but also worried about infection or some complications occurring when I’m not close to home. I’m sorry this certainly isn’t the biggest worry I’ve had over the past few weeks but I was just hoping for some opinions from ladies who have been through this.

Take care of yourselves xx

I’m sorry for your loss.

I went abroad 2 or 3 days after mine - I had a medical management following MMC. it was just a short flight from where I live in Netherlands to see my family in the UK. I didn’t experience any ill effects from flying and the benefits of being with my family and not just sitting around my house here feeling bad were so worth it.

As a precaution you could check where you’re going has a doctors or hospital nearby just in case, for your peace of mind if anything does go wrong.

I hope you have a lovely holiday, you deserve it after all you’ve been through

Thank you Olivecake, I appreciate your response and I am so sorry for your loss too. Take care xx

Personally I'd go, be covered by insurance and go somewhere with good healthcare

I wish I'd thought to go on holiday after mc's .... what's happened is gone and now enjoy your holiday and relax ❤️

Thank you flumpybear. Hope you are doing ok xx

I went abroad about 3 days after a d and c, it was a family holiday and I was ok (physically) it was a very short flight.
The holiday was paid for a year previously and I couldn’t cancel because the children were so excited. It actually went well and seemed to draw a line under what had happened as it was over, and when I got home it was like a new start.

But another time I drove a really long journey (6 hours) to visit a relative and i had agonizing back pain afterwards and was very very sick. This was about 2 weeks after the miscarriage (around the time when I was ovulating again) and I really should not have done that long journey. I was also on my own so it was completely different and didn’t do me any good at all.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I think going away with your husband to take some time together would be a lovely idea.

I went to the US for work while I was still bleeding. I was tired but it was ok. I had insurance and a local work colleague who knew what was going on and could help me find a dr if I needed one.

Thank you 3luckystars, I’m so sorry for your losses too. Take care x

Thanks for replying eurochick. I’m so sorry for your loss x

@K0013 - yes I'm fine, my journey took a while but I've got two children now 6&10 son it's been a while since I was going through mc but it wasn't pleasant so feel for you. Enjoy your holiday and come home ready to fight!

I had my D and C last Friday (14th September) after miscarrying at 11 weeks. My husband and I booked the holiday on Tuesdays and flew out to Greece on Wednesday. I've been and felt fine since being here I've just avoided going in the pool for obvious reasons and also to make sure no infection occurs. So sorry for your loss I think a break away would be just what the doctor orders!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't go abroad but did book a break away with DH. Definitely go, maybe if you're worried just check with your GP for reassurance that you'll be ok. You'll appreciate the time out away from home.

Thanks Lynzw, I’m so sorry for your loss. Enjoy Greece and look after yourself xx

Thank you Indreamland, I think you are right, a break would certainly help xx
