Readjusting back to normal life
Readjusting back to normal life
I’ve always had good encounters with this co-worker and he honestly looked sincere when he said “Where have you been? I haven’t seen you at work, how are you?” I told him what happened and even though he was very supportive I thought I was okay but when I got to my car afterwards, I broke down and cried like a baby.
Has this happened to anyone else? I felt like what’s wrong with me, he was supportive and I still broke down

Re: Readjusting back to normal life
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Don't forget you have been through a traumatic event of surgery and loosing your baby, and September wasn't that long ago. It is normal to experience these feelings for up to 3 months. Some days will be worse than others but the bad days will become less frequent.
Above all be kind to yourself, allow the tears to come when they need to and of course speak to us whenever you need. You have friends here who understand.
Sending much love and warm hugs,

Re: Readjusting back to normal life
I had a cornual ectopic pregnancy, and I had emergency surgery on 9/11/20 with removal of my baby, my right tube and the right corner of my uterus .
I’m a nurse and I actually work in surgery and have done these cases. But I never knew how traumatic they were and how devastating the recovery process was.

Re: Readjusting back to normal life
My ectopic was found on Monday and tube removed on Tuesday. I was told the recovery is ok but it feels bloody terrible at the moment. How quickly could you walk to the end of your road and back again? X x x
