catrionalee - I agree with your 2nd comment so much, mc are so much more common that I realised, it wasn't until I started talking to people that I realised how many women have had to through it, in saying that, what Katiegirl said about just because it isn't uncommon wouldn't make it any easier I can understand that what ness. help the individual.

saltprincess I think that would be the hardest thing for me, seeing that no matter how many weeks it is, it is still a living thing... Part of me realises I have to see it like that for my client, but part of me doesn't as I feel it would be easier to distant myself and not get as emotionally involved (remain professional) (how i deal with things), despite this i do feel it is still a living thing..

Thankyou ladies, this is really what I need, it's the little things that we don't even think of that can trigger people. I'm just trying to be as prepard as possible, hoping that it may make it easier, atleast this way I know I am doing all I can to help my clients.

Did people find that family members and friends became closer or more distant?
also, did it affect your relationship with your partner?

(feel free to tell me i'm asking too many questions and prying =P)
