Obviously with the current rules and limits on services it's very easy to feel unsupported.
I went through my third miscarriage this week, third this year. I've known something wasn't right the last 3 weeks, especially with lots of bleeding. And all I kept getting told was "wait a week after the bleeding has stopped then take a test, if it's positive then you should be ok" the bleeding didn't stop. I rang the EPU 3 times just this week and told the same thing each time. Then Monday night the pain started, basically really strong contractions (my other miscarriages were nothing like this) this pain was the same as when I was in labour with my son, from 10pm Monday night this carried on until 5pm Tuesday. Rang Epu again, worried that the pain had been so intense for so long but I wasn't actually bleeding or passing much at all and said they wouldn't assess me at this point due to not much bleeding.
Throughout my experience I've felt the support and service for women going through this has been awful, physically and mentally it's been so so hard. I reached out to the miscarriage association with a couple of questions here and there, asking if certain things were normal etc. Every time they replied within 10 minutes, completely empathetic, understanding and the responses were personal to me. Even if you just want a vent and a chat to them they're honestly amazing. So if you are suffering and you haven't tried speaking to them please give it a go, they really are amazing. I'm definitely going to look into fundraising for them in the future 💓
