Sorry my wife didn't have a "spontaneous abortion". She had a miscarriage.
Yes I know I can't do anything about it, and doesn't really matter what the paperwork says. I just wanted to vent.
Maybe it's just me.
I am so sorry for your loss. :(
When admitting a woman to the OB or GYN floor the reason for admission would list one of the above..
Since abortion for any reason was made available, the term has taken on a bad sound....The abortion for any reason is called a therapeutic abortion or choice.
The term abortion is shocking to one that does not know that it is the medical term for miscarriage...
Miscarriage does not describe the loss of a pregnancy...Miscarriage has a totally different defination and could mean many different things, including "Miscarriage of justice". Hope this helps you underatand the medical reason for the term abortion..
I am so sorry for your loss. May your precious baby RIP.
Been there.....
It’s not just you. It happened to me and I was offended by the term. After losing the baby, hearing it referred to that way seemed like adding insult to injury.
Prayers for you.
Thank you all for your condolences and sympathy.
My wife is feeling much better, but I imaging sudden crying spells will be common for a while.
Miscarriage isn’t a medical term “spontaneous abortion” is, sorry.
I hear you, and I’m sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss, Domandred. The State’s attack on our language and your wife by naming a miscarriage an abortion, is crudness to the highest degree.
Are you going to raise heck with the source of this outrageous medical form? They have no right to put into her medical record the word “abortion” when she did not have an abortion. That is a terrible thing to do to a mother who has lost her child!
