Going for medical management tomorrow

[WW1]

Hi all,

Well my body hasn't done as it was told and I haven't started to m/c naturally during the weekend so I'm going for a medical management tomorrow.

I'm terrified to be honest! I've read what happens but I'm very scared about what to expect, how I'll feel and how long it will all last.

The nurse said to me on the phone that I could go home after the pessaries (on Wednesday) or I could stay in and take the tablets still in hospital. I'd prefer to go home but we live quite a distance from the hospital - what would you guys recommend?

I felt quite strong during last week but I'm now starting to crumple again. Roll on next weekend - at least this part will be behind me. Why does it have to be so hard?!

Hi hun, are you going over to calderdale for the pessaries? I had my oral tablet at Huddersfield and then I went to ward 4c at Calderdale for the pessaries and they are lovely, try not to worry they are very sympathetic and understanding staff. I stayed in for 4 hours as I didn't want to trail all the way home and then find I needed to come back if anything went wrong, then I felt I would rather be at home and took the second tablet (oral) home with me. Where in Hudds do you live? I am at Cowlersley

I'm in Marsden so just down the road! I went for my oral tablet at Huddersfield this afternoon and go to Halifax on Wednesday. I think I'll stay for the day - it's a long way back to Halifax if I need to return. I also feel more comfortable with having medical staff to hand "just in case".

The staff today were lovely - very supportive and helpful. I feel a little better today - as if I've regained a little bit of control. I'm not looking forward to Wednesday at all but at least I feel as though I'm going in the right direction.

Roll on the weekend...

Hiya neighbour!! all the staff at both sites have been so nice with me, it really makes a difference when you feel they care doesn't it? I felt better staying in for the time I did, as you say it is comforting to have medical staff around and they keep checking on you to make sure you are ok, I had a private room with it's own bathroom so could just do what I wanted really, there is a tv you can watch if you like too. Is someone going with you? It is very upsetting I found and was glad OH was with me. If I were you I would take some painkillers before you go so they can kick in as the pains (well mine anyway) are like labour and I wish I had taken some prior to going in. Be prepared for a lot of blood and clots too, no-one really explained to me how much there would be and it came as a big shock.
(sorry if I have scared you, it really is horrible but was my preferred option as I really did not want surgery and it has worked for me despite having taken a long time!)

OH is going with me and I'm really glad he is. Although I think I'm doing okay at the moment, seeing the blood etc. will set me back a bit I reckon. I'm kind of expecting lots of blood (figuring that everything in there is going to come out in a pretty quick time) but it's one thing imagining it and quite another seeing it for real.

I appreciate your honesty with it all - it really helps to know the truth of what is going to happen. I'd much prefer to know what to expect.

The painkiller idea is a very good one - I think I'll do that!

How are you feeling today, what time do you have to go in tomorrow?

Feeling a bit down today and a little bit crampy but much less than I expected. Had some bleeding but less than I expected to - I imagine the full joy awaits tomorrow!

The nurses told me to be there between 9 and 10. I assume I'll be there all day (6 hrs or so?). I'm going to stay rather than take the pessaries home with me (it's a long way back to Halifax as you know!)

Glad the OH has the day off tomorrow.

Ironically, my best friend has her first scan tomorrow (following 2 m/cs) to check all is well. It's a strange, strange world...

I hope all goes as well as it can do tomorrow. I didn't have that much blood when I m/c ( i was 7 weeks) just really painful stomach cramps. No one told me what to expect and I think it was the blood which was a real shock for me.

Take care xxx
