I experienced an early miscarriage last month after suffering years of infertility. The first visit was ok I was seen quickly, scanned and had my bloods done. Miscarriage confirmed over the phone but no details on support or even a leaflet.
I ended up feeling ill a few days after the miscarriage and came back waited hours was treated with little respect and dignity. The miscarriage wasn’t dealt with sensitively at all. I was treated like I had imagined it and left in the room on my own for hours. I asked to go home as no one would see me and luckily one of the nice nurses comforted me as I burst into tears and listened to me and treated me with care and dignity. I felt vulnerable and this was just ignored and I was treated like a number.
Please try and learn from how you treated me. The ladies coming here are dealing with some awful things please try and remember that.
