Jesus, man I'm very sorry. I think you've been given some good advice so far. Be there for her and that will also help you in your healing. Horrible situation, and again I'm very sorry.

So sorry for you and your SO.

We had a miscarriage between or 2 and 3rd kids. Its a painful thing and it feels like a death (which it is.) but only the two of you hurt. Its too abstract for anybody else including family.

You'll automatically get "oh well you can always have another baby". but life doesnt work like that.

Take care. Pray if you are into that. it helps. Meantime love on your woman a lot. She will need it and it will help you too.

I know several people that this has happened to, and unfortunately it's around 1 in 5 pregnancies here in the U.S. Most are due to some genetic abnormality that the parents obviously had no control over. Of course that isn't comforting at all either. Sad.

Been there. The fetus (a female) probably strangled on the uc--it happened around the sixth month of pregnancy. My wife was 43; clearly our last shot at another child. It took my wife maybe a year to accept what happened.

I personally don't see it as that big of a deal,anymore. We probably lost 6 or 7 between trying for the two I currently have. At 6-8 weeks, losing them is common and I don't feel as attached,anymore. Losing them after 2 or 3 months isn't as common and would be worse, IMO.
We lost all of ours early like that,sort of got use to it,as terrible as that sounds.
Still sucks, but life goes a on.
Keep making deposits. It'll happen.

Approx 25-30% of pregnancies fail in first trimester.... Fact of life. And those are just the ones that know they are pregnant, number is probably higher. Usually no indication for future success. It will happen when it is meant to be. Time heals ALL wounds

Sorry for your loss.

Keep trying though. Try not to let this convince you not to have kids if you want them.

Lots of us have been there. Unfortunately it's pretty common. I know there's no relief in that right now. And after that we could not get pregnant for a while. We decided if it wasn't meant to be we would start giving our time and love to those that needed it and volunteering. She was pregnant a matter of weeks later and we now have two beautiful boys.

I'd say faith helps. But I had none at the time. It was a rough time. I feel for you right now and I will have faith for you if you, understandably, cannot.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to post and the kind words. I appreciate all of it, it's an open wound but I believe as long as you can take care of those, they will heal.

Thanks OT, in some strange way I feel like I owe you all one.

we lost one of our twins at around 18 weeks. definitely the worst day of my life. Not a day goes by where I dont think of her. Made for a tough rest of the pregnancy, but our doctor was great. I believe he was a calming presence for my wife. If you are reading this Dr. Badeaux, you are a good man.



Great news is that our other little girl is healthy and so much fun.

OP, I know how u feel. We lost ours 4 months in. It was a silent misscarriage. Didn't even know until her body started trying to expel it. It hurt a lot. We are trying for another and hopefully if the 2nd test is positive we'll have another shot. Don't give up and keep positive. Support her even if it's just telling her God has a plan.

If she wants to talk to someone who just went through it less than a month ago, let me know. I've been doing better but reading this made it flood back. It's rough.

So sorry for your loss!
It's really not uncommon for this to happen before the eight week mark, I believe that's why most ob's don't see you before the 8 week mark. Plus, the heartbeat is so week before then.
You wouldn't believe how many women have missed miscarriages within that time frame.
The good news is y'all are capable of conceiving and can't start trying again, if this was your intention.
Best of luck!

Wink---I'm so sorry for your loss too!! :(
