Walking With You



I never got to meet my little one. He/She was gone to soon. I wish I would have. I have so many regrets with that loss. (None that I had any control over). I wish they would have kept me in the hospital, not sent me home to lose my baby in the toilet. The doctor that came is was so cold(he honestly tried not to be). He checked me and said that I was in the process of miscarrying. Said sorry and sent me home. No words of encouragement, nothing to help the emotional or physical pain. Just sent home to "lose" my baby. The whole time all I though was I didnt "lose" it, it died.

  1. I'm sorry, Ivy. I hate how some drs treat it as if it were nothing. I wish you could've met your baby.

  2. I'm sorry. Some Dr's have no compassion and sometimes even a little goes a long way. Having a child die, no matter the time, is always hard.

  4. What a horrible way to be treated by a doctor. The sad thing is, with most people, they have to walk in the "same shoes," before having compassion with someone else. I'm sorry that you had to say goodbye to your child.

  5. I am so sorry your were treated that way! That's so horrible! I hate to say it, though, but unless one has been through it themselves, they don't tend to realize just how much heartache is involved in a miscarriage. They seem to think that we didn't have time to really bond, so it really shouldn't be that bad. But it is.

    But you and I, and all the women who have suffered it, know how utterly wrong that is.

    (hugs)
