I experienced a miscarriage at 10weeks and attended a&e in June. I lost over a litre of blood and there were issues in controlling the blood loss. The support and care I received from the nursing team (Laura & Lucy -I think), along with the gynaecologist was fantastic at a time when our world was falling apart.
Unfortunately, I had an incomplete miscarriage which has meant a visit to the EPAC team (Debbie) 3 weeks later, who again I can not fault in providing support and help in the decision we needed to make. I have subsequently needed to attend the Day Surgery Unit for surgical management of my miscarriage. Our nurse (Helen) was very aware of our needs and the sensitivity of our circumstances along with the whole team who 'got' us through the whole process as quickly as possible.
My only concern would be that I was not aware that our baby remains had been sent to Pathology for tests and that no results have been share with us. It was only when I attended the EPAC team that I was made aware that there were some results.
Overall, a yet another example of the wonderful NHS team who are putting people first. Thank you.
