    It's fine. Miscarriages are dealt with really insensitively. I didn't realise it was happening everywhere but it seems it is.

    This is the first I've heard of this sort of thing and its just really stupid. Why would you put women that have had miscarriages with women who just had a baby? It makes no sense. Even a blind, retarted monkey could see that it would just have horrible psychological effect on everyone involved. It wouldnt surprise me to be honest if they were given scrambled eggs also, just to add insult to injury. This country :rolleyes:

    Just to reassure some people - I miscarried early this year and I was treated with the utmost respect when it was happening, everything was done to keep me away from women who had just had a baby/ were pregnant (though obviously I did see some but they were not on my ward). I can not understand if and how the original story happened - the mind boggles, my heart goes out to the woman and anyone who has been affected by miscarriage, it is truely horrible. Hope that the mods do not mind this link - http://www.miscarriage.ie/

    I could see my baby's hands and feet. Every time I opened my fridge that's what I would see.

    Why in the name of God did she keep opening the fridge. I believe this to be the crux of her problem.

    If a foetus in the fridge isn't enough to stop a cream cheese craving then no amout of fridge alarms will work, tbh

    My sister miscarried last year and it deeply affected her, what she found hardest to deal with was the 'ah your young, you will have more' attitude from people.

    I heard of this girl who was babysitting and got creeped out by a clown statue and later it turned out it wasn't a statue it was a midget who stole the kids.

    They do indeed. I had a miscarriage and in the bed next to me was a woman with her new baby.
    To top it all off, a doctor said to me "It's for the best, you can enjoy your youth now and come back when you're thirty."
    Nice.

    And we pay robots like that €200/250 k. Aren't you glad?

    Do they still do the ole' putting miscarrying women on the same ward as the women in labour? That was lovely.

    My mother had a friend that was in a maternity ward after a miscarriage and when the doctor was doing the rounds with students he used the word "aborted" to indicate the miscarriage. This was spread around the ward and all the patients shunned the woman and she had a complete mental breakdown shortly afterwards.
    She felt guilt and then was treated by the people around her as if she had done something wrong. It was also a local rumour with embellishments about possible fathers.

    As far as I know "aborted" is a legit term for a pregnancy ending in miscarriage. A poor choice of words though. Could the whole confusion not have been cleared up early on?

    Have to wonder why she needed to bring the foetus into the hospital?

    Could she not just have buried it?

    It is but it is not like the people in the beds beside her stood up and pointed shouting. The doctor used correct terminology but ignorance lead to further issues just compounding an already bad situation. It was some time ago where more people were in wards and you have to consider a bunch of new mothers might not be the most emotionally balanced people.
