The circle of life and death.

[Thandeka]

Just found out that at the same time as I was having my final scan at the hospital to check the miscarriage was complete, a close friend was giving birth in the same hospital. She is fine and had a little girl.

Has knocked me sideways a little bit. I knew she was due but didnt expect it to be at same time- ah well I suppose I should be thankful it wasn't same day as I miscarried.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost twins, thankfully early on but 4 of my friends were giving birth at he time, I felt so alone.

Try to stay positive, you will smile again.

Thankyou SVY.

For gawds sake the hospital just phoned to see why I wasn't at my first midwife appointment. Some great communication they have going on there. I had asked them to cancel it.

hi there, i have had similar experiences.
with my 1st miscarriage my self and 2 friends where all pregnant at the same time and we all miscarried within a week of each other. of course they are now expecting again while have just had my 3rd miscarriage! whilst have the scan where i found i had mc'd for the 3rd time i came out of the room to see my very best friend there waitin 4 her scan, both a bit shocked as we hadn't told each other! and after that same scan i came home to find my midwife had left a card to say 'congratulations on your pregnancy!' talk about being kicked when your down! and to top it all off i had to have my d&c on the same day as the 1st miscariage would have been due!
hope you are staying strong through it all anyway! xx

Thandeka I had the same thing happen to me last week think i was more angry than upset by it

When I had my second miscarriage, I suspected something was wrong because of my first experience but couldn't get a scan on the NHS so had to pay for a private scan. At the clinic reception I was asked if I wanted a DVD of the scan! How insulting - I had told the clinic when I booked the appointment that I suspected a missed miscarriage. It was so awful. I then had to sit in the clinic waiting to be told the dreaded news whilst everyone else skipped out of the scan room with a photograph of their baby. Such a lonely experience.
