This is horrific on so many levels. I can't imagine how much trauma this is all causing. 😭
My first step-mother miscarried my half brother's twin (without knowing she was even pregnant let alone with twins), and the only reason she knew to dig it out of the toilet to be tested was because she was a nurse.
Expecting a traumatized non-medically trained woman to know the same is stupid at best.
Also though, if it's your first or even second miscarriage in a row, they won't test it anyway. That's an optional thing you spend a lot of money on. They straight told me there's nothing we can do for you and there's no point in testing after 2, because it's so common that it's just normal.
If you go to pass it in the hospital that's thousands of dollars, and only makes sense if you fear for your life. Dealing with the major period at home on the toilet and with adult diapers is way cheaper and much more comfortable in your grief.
Indeed. And now normal is illegal, apparently.
All true. But this was almost 50 years ago and in Canada.
Although our politicians have swallowed the same cold fruit drink your's have, we can still count on universal healthcare (and soon universal dental care) to keep us out of that kind of medical debt.
Oh they'll test it now, and they'll charge you for it.
Good grief. 🥺
And yes to the comment. 😔
