2scents- you do know the chances of going into hypovolemic shock from a miscarriage are extremely low, right? I don’t buy this story for one minute. Especially these points: She says her sister called her doula for advice. Which woman has a doula before the third trimester?
If this was in the third trimester it would be a stillbirth, not a miscarriage. Also, for medical issues like this people generally call their doctor or midwife not their doula. A decent doula would have advised her to call her doctor, not say she’s coming over. A doctor would have given her guidance as to when to come into L&D. She also says her sister was so dizzy she felt she had to lay down on the floor. Really. The floor. There was no more comfortable place in her house? The dizziness was so so sudden that there was no option? Also, the supposed pool of blood on the floor. Any woman that knows she is having a miscarriage takes precautions not to leave a trail of blood on the floor wherever she’s walking. I’m sure that would have been the case here as well. And if she was going into shock as the story is told I’m sure EN would have been following shock protocol, not sitting and holding her hands.
