I am still a bit of a hormonal mess after miscarrying last week at nearly 8 weeks pregnant. I am really unhappy with the uncaring, insensitive and uniformative way the hospital dealt with this and I think it is making the whole experience a bit harder for me. I am going to write to the hospital to complain/comment on my treatment - among other things, the sonographer, who I later found out was actually a consultant, scanned me in silence before spinning the screen round and said 'there's nothing there, had you actually taken a pregnancy test?' This is how I found out that my baby whose heartbeat I'd seen on a scan a few days earlier had died.
Is it a bit of a knee jerk reaction to go REALLY public with all of this, or should I wait until I am feeling a bit better? I am thinking local paper, facebook, blogging, writing to my MP, the lot. Is it the grief talking and should I just stop at writing to the hospital? Or will it all be worth the attention if it means the hospital does something to stop the shoddy way they deal with miscarrying women?
