[feeb]

so sorry to hear of your loss.

I took 1 week off after mine, physically 2 days after i could have worked (also on foot all day) mentally i needed a week of to collect my thoughts and cope back at work (i do work around babies all day)

Good luck with TTC when you are ready

I agree physically i could have returned to work after 2 days emotionally i would definetely say a week even two... I took a week off work and then returned last week but still took it easy. Its two weeks for me since my miscarriage and believe me there are moments still when i get very very emotional, yesterday i cried practically all day cause i was lonely, today im not in the mood to do anything. Its a big loss for some of us, even though people tell us we are strong I dont think they realise what it means or how it feels to have it happen to you!!!!

Thanks everyone for the response. Its great to hear from those whove been there. We are taking it hour by hour atm. I am finding its a real emotional rollercoaster. one minute i feel fine, normal even, the next empty, and very emotional. We will tr again as soon as we can, but I think it will be hard during next pregnancy -- i imagine we'll be so much more worried and anxious over symptoms. I had no way of knowing anything was wrong this time.

I am sorry about what you have gone through. I had my D&C on a Thursday and went back to work on the Sunday and worked another 5 days that following week (I am a PCA). Physically you will be fine. Can I also mention it is good you are getting your D&C done strait away, I had to wait a full week which gave me extra time to 'think'.

My doctors said I will be right for normal daily activity in 2 days time after the surgery.

I'm so sorry to read of your loss

I found out at 10 weeks via u/s I'd lost my first baby & was booked in for a D&C that afternoon/night. I cant remember exactly what time, maybe 7pm I think. They told me it would be best to stay overnight so I did. The next day on my way home from hospital I went to our local mall & got my hair cut short (I suppose trying get closure?) but I was fine physically that day.

I cant help you with going back to work as i had to give up my job at 6 weeks pregnant due to suffering HG so I didnt go back for some time. I would say give yourself at least a few days off for the emotional side.

Wishing you well
