She didnt sound very sorry, leaving the room so quicklyostensibly so I could pull up my underwearthat she couldnt hear me burst out in tears. There are many ways to lose a pregnancyfrom the traditional bleeding in the toilet, to a missed miscarriage where you dont even know that you miscarried, to a blighted ovum where the baby never started growing at all, to an ectopic pregnancy, where the fetus implanted in the wrong place. Ive had most of themthey all suck, let me tell youand Ive learned the important ways to deal with a miscarriage. Chances are you were told in school that you could get pregnant any time you have sex so dont have Read more Read. First, you will probably be in shock. No matter how nervous you were about becoming a mom, no matter how skeptical you were of the pregnancy working out, you will be disappointed times a million. And as awful as this all issad and frustrating and emotionalthe first thing you have to do is figure out how to start or complete the miscarriage process. There are a number of ways to terminate a failed pregnancy and Ive done most of them. Naturally. This means you just let nature take its course. You wait for the bleeding to start and for the pregnancy to pass. For very early pregnancies, like chemical pregnancies which never registered a heartbeat, this is often the recommended route. My very first miscarriagewhere I didnt really know I was pregnant until the prior daypassed this way, and it felt like a really late period. Had I not taken three pregnancy tests, thats what I would have assumed it was. Some women prefer to do the natural way no matter how far along in their first trimester they are, but the downside is that you could be waiting a whilewhich totally creeped me out in my second miscarriage, knowing there was a non living fetus inside of me. Also, it could be super messy ditto on the creepy. And it can also be incomplete, sending you to surgery anyway see 3. Throwing things out of anger is never a smart move, but it can also lead to more serious consequences. Especially when youre at an airport and what youre. The app is certainly a relic, from a time when the casual computer user couldnt crack open Photoshop or Skitch or Pixelmator or thousands of web apps. The Pill. There is a pill that can help the miscarriage proceed fasterespecially if it already started. Misoprostol, which induces labor and for miscarriages is often given together with Mifepristone also can be messy and from what Ive heard, extremely painful. I was advised not to use this because you often end up in surgery anyway see 3. Surgery. As you can see from my previous two conclusions, I am a big fan of the surgical procedure to terminate a failed pregnancy, specifically the D C. I am not a doctor, so I cant give any medical advice except to tell you there are risks to every surgery. But as a patient, by my third miscarriage, I preferred this method of removing the contents of the uterus, usually under general anesthesia. There is a surgical procedure called aspiration which involves a vacuum and no general, but I found it awful to be awake, making conversation and watching everything happening. An ectopic pregnancy must be surgically removed. Heres why I preferred the D C Your pregnancy is terminated quickly and painlessly, for the most part. You dont have to witness any of the sad bloodshed. It is the most effective way of making sure everything is removed and to get you ready for your next pregnancy. MOST IMPORTANTLY and I cant stress this enough so Im going to give it a separate headline. Get It Tested. If you have surgery you can get what is medically called the products of conception tested. That means they can chromosomally test your fetus and see what, if anything, was wrong with it. For older patients, patients undergoing IVF, or in my non medical opinion, any patient, it is a great comfort to find out that something was wrong with the fetus, which is why it didnt make it. On the other hand, if they find out that there was nothing wrong with the babythat it was chromosomally normalyou can investigate other solutions to prevent it from recurring. In fact, Im such a fan of this method that by my 4thand finalmiscarriageI scheduled it right away so I could make sure not to lose my chance to test the products. Moving On. Its only after youve dealt with ending the miscarriage that the real loss may hit you youre not pregnant anymore. The sadness of this will be accompanied by actual physical symptoms, such as a drop in hormones those happy making chemicals that buoyed your bump. I myself often experienced a palpable gut wrench from the drop, as well as a weight gain that no doctor had warned me about. Look, Im not going to sugar coat this There was no good thing about any of my miscarriages. And most people didnt have any good things to say about it either, like, At least you can get pregnant. Thanks a lot. But maybe the one good thing that can come out of this is that I suffered through indecision and different procedures so you dont have to. Hopefully you can get through the physical part, so youll be free to focus on emotional healing and hopefully, get started trying again. After Grueling CEO Search, Some Uber Staff Have Started a Positivity Campaign. Employees at Uber, which has survived at long last a back breaking search for a new CEO after its former chief Travis Kalanick resigned earlier this year, are trying to raise other staffers spirits with a positive newsletter. According to Recode, the employees involved have launched a site called Good People Good Things, which is billing itself as a simple reminder that we all have the power to bring a little more joy and positivity to the world. This one is simple. the site reads. Make the world and the office a better place by encouraging positive attitudes and actions. Together, we can build a culture thats all about optimism, equality, and empathy. Posters promoting the new site, which has a signup page limited to Uber employees, have appeared around the companys campus. One sign which appeared on the site advertises a True Value Menu with virtues including equality, collaboration, high fives and sharing a break. With new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Recode noted, many employees at the ride hailing startup are hoping for a reboot of the companys culture. Kalanick resigned under immense pressure from allegations he tolerated a widespread culture of sexual harassment at the company, as well as high profile public relations nightmares including but not limited to alleged underpayment of drivers and a video showing him ranting at an Uber driver. This company has to change, Khosrowshahi said during an all hands meeting of Uber staff. What got us here is not whats going to get us to the next level. Emphasizing a positive work culture is a clear shot at what it was like to work for Uber under Kalanick. The companys 1. 4 core values include always be hustlin, which coincided with what the New York Timesreported dozens of employees said was an Uber dominated by competition, unrestrained behavior and infighting among managers. A change of attitude, though, is not the only thing the company needs to resolve. Khosrowshahi has inherited a number of scandals from his predecessors including an alleged Department of Justice investigation into whether Uber bribed foreign officials. In the long term, Ubers business model can probably only succeed if it starts using autonomous vehicleswhich will certainly stir controversy over job loss and has already strained relationships over alleged bad business practices with test cities like Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
