Oh Ellie, you poor thing, you're very brave to share your experiences. I'm sorry the ladies and midwives were less than supportive. That makes me angry because I think that part of the reason pregnancy loss is so hard is because it's such a social taboo and it makes us feel so isolated. It should be out in the open because it happens all the time to so very many women. Brave women like you should be encouraged to share your experiences so that it can be easier to deal with.

We ended up cancelling our antenatal classes after having a similar experience at our VBAC class... seeing as we're having a C-section anyway it was a convenient excuse to avoid it! The midwife tried to talk Alec into us going anyway (he rung to cancel) but he said it was too uncomfortable last time. I'll be in hospital for plenty of time afterwards anyway so the midwives can teach us there I figure!!
