Having to explain to far too many nurses "how my twins are doing". I was fortunate in that all attendings I dealt with were kind and considerate and had clearly learned to deal with such situations - junior staff, not so much.<br />Ironically, after SB was born they put us on a different floor, as they were overbooked. With the twins we got to stay on the maternity ward. I should send that in as a suggestion, though really, that should be obvious.<br />Much love to you.

For all of it. our hospital thankfully has a unit for peripartum stuff and that's where I think (god, i hope) they would put someone after the horror you went through. unbearable to have to listen to other people's crying babies in a situation like that.

When I laid in the hospital bed for 10 days on antibiotics trying to fight off infections to save Jude, every day I could hear the room's next to me check their baby's heartbeat. When my parents walked out of the room from meeting my stillborn son, the secretary told them "congratulations." He was 3 weeks away from being "viable" and was written as fetal demise. It's cruel. This post reminded me of all that crap. so mean. I'm so sorry you know this dark side of "giving birth." :(<br />Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16521069845002030377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750499633451363990.post-31914480334408709112015-04-28T12:10:30.079-07:002015-04-28T12:10:30.079-07:00And then sometimes we get a good one and we realiz...And then sometimes we get a good one and we realize how much easier it can be. I don't get it. They've chosen this specialty. Loss is part of the job description. Can't they figure out a better way to manage themselves?<br /><br />Re: your comment on my book post. I can't imagine women who don't read. I would go insane. Quite seriously. I read the fifth book of A Song of Ice and Fire and the latest from Guy Gavriel Kay in the first months after E. was born, while pacing around my living room with him in a carrier because that was how he would sleep. I don't think I will ever forget how those books kept me off the ledge.<br /><br />Thinking of you.<br />xoxoTuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694077473805539161noreply@blogger.com
