I came in for an early pregnancy loss. Scans were fine and everyone that did that sort of care was helpful. It felt very disorganised when I was diagnosed to be miscarrying and different people kept coming in and handing my information and getting me to sign forms. I was nearly sent on my way without being provided with the medication I needed.
After this, I tried on three separate occasions to express my concerns about the process and was met with apathy by staff who just stated I should call after 2 weeks if I still have a positive pregnancy test. After trying to reach someone when I was unsure if what I was feeling was normal I had to reach out to another hospital and will be going to a&e there for services. I feel very let down. This was my second miscarriage in 6 months and I am extremely worried about the effects this will have on my long term fertility as I do not have children. I didn't feel like staff cared about these. I understand they often see women who have miscarried have healthy pregnancies, but I haven't experienced that and am extremely worried about side effects. Simply answering the phone or discussing this with me would have helped.
