I unfortunately had a miscarriage 6 weeks into my pregnancy. This was my first pregnancy therefore I wasn't sure what to do therefore I called the Early Maternity Unit for advice. I was disappointed with the phone call conversation I had with someone in the unit, as I received a lack of information and was just told to re-test in 2 weeks. I wasn't given any information on what to expect and she didn't ask if I was ok, whether I was with anyone or provide any emotional support/signposting at that time. I therefore ended up seeking information online about what to expect from miscarriage and utilised online charities for information and support. I didn't require this, but I am worried that someone in a different position who may have a similar experience could have been significantly impacted by the response/lack of response I got.
