I probably sounds a silly question - but how do you cope with the "what happened" questions from people you work with when you go back after being off post m/c?
m/c at 11 weeks in fairly dramatic fashion 2 weeks ago - lost a lot of blood in the process, ended up with emergency late-night op and was actually kept in hospital for a while afterwards as a result. Am due to go back to work tomorrow, but am dreading the inevitable questions. None of them knew I was pg, they're almost all male, but they're all likely to ask why I've been off and I don't really want to have to explain the gory details to them. I might get away with minimal explanations by just saying "women's troubles", but that is probably just going to storing up trouble for myself for the future as I work in a very male dominated company/industry where it's a definate disadvantage beiong a woman even without having to own up to that.
Any ideas, anyone?
