When her first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, the staff at the Early Pregnancy Unit were very supportive.

 



My first pregnancy was actually a miscarriage, I only carried for three months and - I had, I experienced bleeding so I visited the Early Pregnancy Unit, who were, who were absolutely amazing people. All I had to do was just ring them up in the morning before nine o'clock and they'll arrange a scan for me before twelve. So during one of the scans they actually told me that there wasn't actually a heartbeat. It had stopped about a week earlier. I hadn't realised at the time, and so what they did was they took care of everything. They told me that, you know, you can come back tomorrow if you decide to. You know, the, they went through the options of what, what I could do, and I chose to actually have a D&C, an evacuation, so they booked, they booked the next day, they booked me in the next day.
