Jen - problem no. 1 fixed - now to work on staying awake......

Mto3B - Don't you love it when they pop you in maternity. I had the same thing after my m/c. It was that or stay in the emergency dept. I must admit the hospital staff (except for the obs) was wonderful. Maternity found me a single room at the opposite end of the ward from the babies, the woman in the room next to me had her baby in the special care nursery so I didn't have to hear it. I had nurses sit with me during the night when they found me awake.

Wouldn't it be great if doctors, emergency depts or hospitals could hand out information on support services. I know when I left the hospital, I felt so empty. I had no idea of where to look for support. thinking back, it would have been good to have someone to talk to that had been there during the first few weeks.

I've had a reply from one of my emails from a work colleague apologising that she didn't offer more support. She was one of a few people that did.....

To all the wonderful girls on this thread (and the ones that have moved on) -- thank you for your support during the last eleven months. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thank you.

Angel and Hannah - I included "A pair of shoes" with my email. I agree, it sums it all up doesn't it.

Missbec - I'm not sure about the tests. I know after my m/c my gyno sent me for a huge list of blood tests (can't remember what they were for now). They cost a fortune and all came back clear. It's worth asking though
