I just went through my third miscarriage, last Tuesday me and my husband found out our sweet baby girl no longer had a heartbeat at 12 weeks, we are absolutely devastated, I had a D and C on Wednesday, I’m feeling okay physically but not doing good mentally, I’m a daycare teacher and was out of work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, when did y’all go back to work?

When I had mine I was out for 2 weeks the first week for healing and the 2 nd just to make sure I was mentally ok to handle work.

I’d say take however long you need. That is not something easy to go through. Especially doing what you do

The next day…I was 10 weeks both times. One I had a D&C the other I passed for at least 8 weeks. I worked in an office with 1 other person.
First off, I’m so sorry. Second, take all the time you need sis. You need to heal both physicality and mentally. God bless you

Unfortunately with my job when I miscarried I could only take one day (a Friday so I had the weekend as well.)
I was only 10 weeks along, and had just found out I was pregnant a few days before, it was still super hard.
If your job allows, take as long as you need.
I would say according to how your feeling and doctors advice I am so sorry for your loss
If your job permits, take a bit of time to grieve and heal. So very sorry for your loss… Prayers that the next time you hopefully conceive you’ll carry to term and the future holds a wonderful family for you. These little ones are so precious, born or unborn, and each unique tiny life deserves our love and respect. God bless…

I’m so sorry this happened😞 With mine, I was off just the 3 days recommended by my OBGYN. It’s really whenever you feel like you can go back. Everyone is different. If you can, take all the time you need.
When they found no heartbeat at 16 weeks for me I had to have a d&c. I got my dr to write a month for me. I explained I worked at babies r us and it would be really hard for me to show that I’m happy for people ect. He didn’t want to but he said as long as you promise you will get out and not stay in bed all day. I said I promise.

when it happened to me, my doctor wrote me out for 8 weeks under medical. technically a D&C is a procedure and work isn’t allowed to ask you about it.
I had a miscarriage while I was working and ended finishing my shift and kept going to work everyday after that
Take the time you need. For some of mine, I felt like I needed a distraction and wanted to go back to work right away. Other times, I needed more time off and away from adulting. There is no right amount of time as you’ll never forget your daughter. Be kind and give yourself grace.
I was out for about 2 weeks following my 18 week loss. Take all the time you need. Sending hugs.

Doesn’t matter what anyone else did. I didn’t take any time off but I would think mentally it would be harder to go back working with kids and babies. Take whatever time you need and your work allows.
When you feel ready to go back to work go back to work. Maybe ask work if you can come in as a substitute test the waters to see if you are ready to go back.
So sorry. My miscarriage I found out at what I thought was week 14. Baby only measured 13. I had to carry for a week before I had a D and C because it was considered “elective”. Anyways I believe I took an additional week off after that for mental health. I also worked at a daycare at the time. You need to take it day by day but I would suggest that work find help for about a week.
