Yes and if you're religious... Pray. Don't as k why just accept that maybe it wasn't the right time. It'll make your next one all the more special

We've had 5. Sad to say but they get easier. We are looking into adoption.

That's tough man. Hope everything works out for you

Not sad to say. You definitely become more pragmatic about it. Very natural.

Thanks. We are hopeful that the right baby or babies are out there. Just might not be biological and certainly will be way more expensive,

Adorable kid. But uh, are you part Sasquatch?
My sister had multiple before she finally conceived. It was hard on her but it all worked out. She has 3 kids now.

My advice is to make sure that you are supportive to her. She is going to feel like she failed you and you will need to make her feel like she is not at fault in anyway because she isn't. It's ok to be angry at God but just love her.

perhaps. Tan skin makes it worse.

Four total, two prior to two successful pregnancies.
My boy is almost 16 and my daughter is 12 and I still wonder about who those four children might have been.
But, I also know that I wouldn't have my two wonderful kids if those pregnancies had been successful because we only wanted two kids.
Just a little piece of advice from a woman who has been there, when she gets pregnant again, the first 12 weeks will be HELL on her. She will be looking for any sign, any indication that things are going wrong. As a man, you will want to Google for her and use logic to reassure her - don't do it. Just be there and don't try to "fix" her worries. You can't. Those worries may be irrational on their surface but it will be a coping mechanism to steel herself for another tragedy.
She will get a little more relaxed after 12 weeks, even a little more at ease after viability (24 weeks or so), but in reality she won't relax fully until she hears the baby cry in the delivery room.
Women who have miscarriages don't get the untainted joy of experiencing pregnancy - the tension of waiting for the other shoe to drop is there. Always.
Good luck to you and your wife. I like to think my kids have 4 brother or sisters watching over them somehow.

went through this last year and still haven't been able to conceive. Sunday would have been the due date, it has not been fun

Thank you, kind sir.
You know I don't often get serious here but a woman's perspective on this issue is something men don't get sometimes because we women don't really discuss it with men we aren't married to.

Bless you and your wife.
I still get a gut punch on April 14th, June 2nd, September 15th, and October 4th.
It's a hard thing to suffer through because most people don't talk about it with others.

When I was 14 I witnessed my step mother go through this... Was something I'll never forget.. Seeing her feel so helpless laying on the couch for a solid week.. There were no words anyone could say to console her.. I pray for you and your wife tonight for comfort through this time!
