i work in an office, of an OBGYN. ok 3 of them. today before lunch a young woman came to her weekly appt. she was due yesterday with her first child. today, there was no heartbeat.
we had to send her to maternity to deliver her baby, that died before it even got to breath air. i knew this happens.... i have never been so close. i cried and cried. i didn't even know her. i didn't even see her. (i answer phones... the only contact i actually have with patients) the women in the office -are the most wonderful women i have ever met. how they do this is beyond me. i could have walked away from the office today, and not gone back.
i was told everything happens for a reason. i was told the little soul is now with him.... i was told to look for the positive things, and try not to dwell on the bad. in our line of work, the good out weighs the bad by alot.
i kept thinking of me at 20... pregnant with my oldest. i could not have endured what that young woman has to do. i can barely do it now, and it wasn't even me.......
