HL after a miscarriage

Hi ladies who have been through pregnancy loss previously…wondering how long HL did u ask/ was given? I told my gynae I will be doing a 2 weeks mini confinement and asked for 2 weeks HL. She only issued me 5 days and said subsequent days will be under MC. That’s her usual practice apparently…but seriously, only 5 days HL for miscarriage, does it make sense?? This is my 2nd pregnancy loss within 5 months and she knows about it. I am sure she is also aware of my emotional state as well, as I cried a few times during consultation. I just don’t get it why a private gynae would refuse to extend HL for patients😔 it makes me feel that she has no empathy and personal touch for her patients

I was given 1 week HL. I lost my baby in the 1st trimester. then I went to work for 2 days. then when I went for my follow up on day 3, hubby told doc that I was still crying quietly in bed. doc gave me another 1 week of HL to rest. I guess it's case by case basis. in my case, hubby was the one talking. I was still emotionally distraught.
