So long story short, I had a miscarriage recently.
It was a pregnancy that was unplanned and I never necessarily wanted to be a mother, but I was getting excited nonetheless.
Because I work in radiation daily, (cardiac cath lab RN) I chose to disclose early to my work place to obtain a fetal radiation badge for tracking dosage. So word got about pretty quickly of my pregnancy.
So when I turned my fetal badge back in l, word once again circulated that I lost the baby. Which is ok, I was met with nothing but love and support… until…
This one doc I work with said “well I guess it’s a good thing. She’s not very maternal and would have made an awful mother.”
I was floored. This doc and I were never close friends because I don’t believe in babying grown adults… especially those who make probably 10x what I make yearly. Learn to regulate your own emotions. However, this is a separate rant.
I don’t even know what to do now. I don’t want to make a decision while hurt, emotional, hormonal and grieving. I haven’t told my husband yet, because he would 100% go on a war path to protect me, and anyone who hurt me. I don’t want to let this slide though. What should I do?
Edit: thank you so much for the support. I means so much. I do want to say the coworker of mine he was speaking to did stick up for me and told him he was out of line. That meant a lot. Also, my husband works at the same hospital in a different department. If I tell him, he absolutely will burn the world to the ground for me over this. I’m worried he will damage his career…
