Going back to work after a D&C. How???

@veritas1961 This is why after I went through the same thing I championed a policy change at my work. I was able to get 3 paid bereavement days for anybody going through miscarriage in the future. It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing.

Take more time if you need it. You are more important than any job! Sending you love. I’m sorry you are going through this

@rithik That's wonderful, thank you for doing that for your coworkers. I've asked my work about it and am waiting to hear back.

@veritas1961 So sorry for your loss. I know at my job, losing a baby qualifies for bereavement leave, you could check with hr if that is a benefit you have?

@thecross19 Thank you for that suggestion, I am waiting to hear back if it is.

@veritas1961 Hey! I felt the same way when I MMC, I didn't want to go back to work and see everyone. Physically, I was in no pain, but emotionally I wasn't ready. So I asked my Doctor to write me a note for another week off and that helped somewhat. It's normal to feel that way, I think. And when I did go back after two weeks, it was so weird and I hated every second of those first few shifts everyone kept saying how sorry they were. It will get easier with time.
