The longer I stayed home the more I would not want to go back to work. I don't exactly dread it this time like I did when I went back to work after Gavin but after being off unexpectedly for over a week I can just imagine walking back into my office to the questioning looks of my co-workers is going to be a little weird.
When I spoke with the EPL nurse she asked if anyone at work knew. I said no. Even if they did know it wouldn't make it any easier to go back. I found that out when I lost Gavin. Some people think early loss is a non issue, some people thought my loss of Gavin was no big deal "just a miscarriage" little did they know. That is exactly it they don't know.
Unless you've walked the path of infertility and loss you won't every really get it. I would rather avoid the unthoughtful but well intentioned comments for now. I know that sounds like ignoring it and in doing that perpetuates the lack of awareness but for now I need to focus on self preservation.

It really bothers me when people think that miscarriages are no big deal. How the fuck could it NOT be a big deal!? It's a really distressing thing for a woman to go through. People like that should just shut their mouths and keep their opinions to themselves.
