re: Anyone ever experience a miscarriage?

It's more common than people like to believe. It doesn't make it any easier to go through it but give it a little time and everything will work out. My wife had 3 but we made up for it with 3 that went fine.

Listen to BamaChick!!! There will be nothing that you can say or do that will suddenly make your wife better. Don't try to "fix" her. Just be there for each other and give each other the support you need. Also be prepared to have every pregnancy from here on be a nerve wracking experience up until the birth. She can be 39 weeks and she will still be worried if the baby is ok because she didn't feel it move for an hour.

Stay strong and keep at it. All this will be a distant memory that first time you hold your first child.

My wife had one with her first pregnancy 3 years ago. I think she was like 12 weeks. She was having bad pains one night, went to the hospital, and there was no heartbeat. The doctor suggested she naturally pass it, which she did, a few nights later in the toilet. Craziest fricking thing I've ever seen.

It was rough, but got better. We now have 2 beautiful little girls. Prayers sent man

My ex said she did, I don't believe her bc she said it was a boy 2 months in and sent my snap shots off the web of other ultrasounds.

2Xs, wife and I have experienced this. Only thing i can tell you is, no matter how bummed and upset you are over this news, your wife will feel much much much much worst.

My wife and I did, only we had no indication at all. We went in for the first ultrasound and when they did it there was no heartbeat. Probably the worst I've felt in my life. My wife was crying my son was there too and he was upset about it, I felt helpless. Sorry to hear about your loss, prayers sent your way.

As a man, you will want to Google for her and use logic to reassure her - don't do it.

Yep. I messed up

Just went through this myself. Went in for a routine checkup about a month ago and there was no heartbeat. We were 19 weeks. Knew the sex, had a name picked out, etc. It sounds horrible, but if something like this is to happen, the sooner it happens the better. I couldn't imagine dealing with this after 8 months. Keep in mind that it's different for men and women. I believe a mother has a closer connection to a child than a father because she carries him/her. Just be there for her. That's all the advice I have. Just going to take time.

Yes, we have and it is a terrible feeling. Prayers sent!

My wife and I have had a few miscarriages. Three before our first child was born and another between our first and second child.

Always around 3 months along when it happened. None of them were easy but the first was the worst by far. I think having already had a normal healthy child helped cushion the blow a bit on the most recent.

It happens far more frequently than most people are willing to talk about. Care and comfort her, and remind her its not her fault. The sting will last for a little while for sure. Let her determine when she's ready to try again. Time heals all wounds..

Yes I have

And it blows
