I wish I could take you all to work with me
Today was my first day back since getting the horrible news and being on bed rest. It was really hard trying to keep a strong face. I'm right now on my break and I just don't want to return. I nearly started crying several times, just remember how i used to take care of myself before this. How people would offer me snacks and soda or coffee and I'd NEVER have any once i found out i was pregnant. I was also so careful with my stomach (not bumping into things, etc), trying to not be on my feet too long, and not inhaling any kind of chemicals if anybody cleaned near me. I started having the same reactions and then realized that i don't have to anymore. It just breaks my heart a little bit.
This is tough....
Just needed to vent to someone

Re: I wish I could take you all to work with me
After my m/c I was angry...and went on a mission to eat and drink anything that was bad for me when I was pregnant. It kind of became a joke w/ me and DH...like I'm going to subway for dinner and eat cold cuts cause I can! Or I'm giong to enjoy this glass of wine cause I can! lol It helped a bit just to laugh.
I can imagine how hard work is.  You'll get to do all that stuff again next time around.

Try to stay strong. Every day makes it a little easier. One day we will all be blessed again! Then get a chance to take care of us and our babies the same way. While i was pg i was def careful of eveything around me and any food.
I think I felt the same way as Jen did after.
I def went on a little binge after the mc. First off, I think I just ate everything in sight. I then pigged out on, candy, soda, & sweets. Oh...and had atleast 2 or 3 Goat cheese salads already.

Re: I wish I could take you all to work with me
I felt this way going back to work and basically just going back to anything normal
When I was pg, I seriously watched EVERYTHING I did; I wouldnt even put my arms up and stretch because I thought the pulling would be too much on my stomach  
I CRIED my eyes out as I downed my first margarita post m/c.
Up until recently I was still making sure I didnt get my HR above 140 at the gym  (kind of defeats the purpose now doesnt it)
Point is, its a tough adjustment going back so I feel your pain.

It is definitely hard going back, but in some ways it was better for me than staying home. I went out to happy hour and had plenty of drinks!!!
Feel better

Re: I wish I could take you all to work with me
Take things one day (or hour, or minute) at a time. It would be strange if you felt fine upon returning to your routine after such a loss. However, the first day is the worst, and as you get back into the swing of things, the pain will lessen. We are all thinking of you and sending you strength.

Re: I wish I could take you all to work with me
once again - thank you for your support. I definitely needed this. Ugh. I hated it today. But some of the women knew what was going on and they were very considerate - just telling me to take it easy and not to strain myself. I definitely appreciated their love & concern.
I do believe you, that it WILL get better with time. Just one day at a time. I'm glad that i went back on a Thursday. That means the weekend is only a day away. {sigh}
And by the way, I was laughing at what some of you said about binging afterwards. It's funny because I've had the SAME thoughts. At the end of the day I found soda in the fridge and went for it. It was my first one in a month. And then I got offered some cookies and dug right in. I was like "screw it - I got no reason to take care of my body now" But then I 'repented' and had a salad with dinner. lol. It's funny how we all kinda thought like that.

I was the same way! But then I ended up getting upset b/c I gained weight after D&C (i think a lot of it was bloat)...I got depressed from that. What made me feel better was that I started exercising again. I was nervous to do too much when I was PG...but at least after MC I was able to go all out again, and it helped the stress, as well as helped me to lose that bloat.
It will get better! The first days back to work are very difficult, just come on here and talk to us when you need to!
