When I had my miscarriage, the woman doing the internal ultrasound (to make sure the "fetus had evacuated"...the term the doctor used), asked me if it was ok to bring in another tech. She did and when she entered she told her, "All I need you to do is hold her hand. She's scared."

I remember some of those times waiting to hear - I remember those bad news pregnancy ultrasounds- but usually my OB was doing the test and I didn't have to wait to get the heartbreaking news about a heartbeat that stopped. I remember my OB and how attached I got to her - a kind and caring doctor who has retired and I have never found a replacement for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-51001764732093445822009-02-25T14:14:00.000-08:002009-02-25T14:14:00.000-08:00What a great day for you.

And how nice to meet a new BFF in that setting!<BR/><BR/>TMI alert: a couple of years ago, a new midwife was down *there* inserting my IUD, and she remarked that she'd been listening to _Absalom, Absalom_ on audiobook while driving. I said, "How do you possibly listen to that in the car?" And she said, "Well, I have to mute it if I need to turn left." I laughed the only genuine laugh I ever laughed while in that position, and boy it felt good.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.com
