My baby is dead...so I'm assuming I don't need to pee in a cup this week.
Thanks for calling though.

How very professional. I am sorry, Kate.
How insensitive!! Don't they have some kind of protocal for people who have lost a baby?! That is just cruel. I'm so sorry we live in such an impersonal world.
Oh Cathy, (((((((((hugs))))))))
Oh, lordy...I don't even know what to say. (((hugs)))
Ugh. Bastards. I am sorry.
when i went to the OB after my miscarriage the office manager said, "your OB appt isn't until xxx". i was so mad i spoke very loudy saying, "yeah well i had a miscarriage last week so i won't need that OB appt. instead i'm having my miscarriage follow up appt. thanks". i'm sure i made every pregnant lady in the room cringe, but so what. my chart should have been flagged.
Oh Catherine, how cruel. The day after my son died we received a call from the receptionist at the pediatrician's office stating bloodwork had been ordered for him and would we like to set up an appointment. My husband explained he had died and the nurse actually said, "how can that be? According to our records he was just born?" Yeah, how can that be??? Hoping these little cruelties end for you.
Gawd, I wish you were kiddin' - how shameful of them
Sounds like you need a new OB. It doesn't have to be that way.
I'm overwhelmed in reading your stories -- I'm so sorry.
