How to cope I have no clue how to feel right now. I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday who…

I'm sorry you're going through this. Maybe you should take some time off to heal.

Typically doctors rush D&C asap because it may cause further complications & infections.

I agree with Vintage soul, try to take time off to process. I didn't go back to work from diagnosis until after 10 days post dnc. It was very hard to be around pregnant friends. My friend and I were due at the same time. I was a mess. After about a month past my dnc, i felt better and got excited and happy to see her and talk about her baby. You need time to grieve and take that time. Your friend will understand that you are still happy for her. Being happy for other people doesn't unfortunately take our pain away.

I had to take time off when I had my mc. I took a little over a week- my boss was very understanding. I didn't attend a friend's baby shower around the time my baby would have been born either. Look after yourself!

I was in the same boat. Back in April I gave birth to my sleeping angel at 35 weeks. Five weeks after that my best friend announced she was expecting. She is due any day now. I struggle all the time. The day I found out I punched the door in anger at not understanding why she got to have her baby and mine was snatched away. To be honest I am still pissed about it, especially as she is having a boy and we lost our gorgeous boy. Some days you will find it easy but at the moment you probably feel bitter that your baby has been taken away and your friend has still got hers. If you need to talk at all feel free to message me XX

I opted for the D&E right away, because i wanted to be able to start trying to get pregnant again as quickly as possible. I was angry and felt betrayed by my own body (missed miscarriage). I wish now I would have given myself a couple of days to think about it instead of acting in haste, but at the same time, i think if i had researched and considered a D&E before having it done i probably wouldn’t have been able to go through with it (scary!). Now that it’s all said and done I am glad i had the D&E. My miscarriage was 3 months ago.
