We were only like 9 weeks, but she's taking it pretty rough. I kind of feel helpless because I can't fix this, but I guess the only thing I can do is to be there for her.

Any other advice?

just tell her it is rather common and let her grieve.

Sorry for the unfortunate event.

The mourning is perfectly normal and a very important process for her. You just need to give her time and patience.

Time will help heal the pain.

Most hospitals offer some type of counseling for circumstances like this.

Let her talk. Listen. Be encouraging. Hold her. Let her cry. Tell her how you're feeling. If she doesn't want to get out of bed for a day or two, it's fine. After that, try to get her to go sit outside or something. Just be with her as much as you can. She didn't do anything wrong although she most likely feels that way. It might help if she tells some people. She'll be shocked by how many other women have gone through it but don't talk about it. It sucks. Good luck.

Time is the best gift you can give her right now. I took mine on a weekend getaway a few weeks after the miscarriage. It helped a little just to keep her busy.

It took her a few years to get back in baby mode. We have three healthy kids running around now.

not personally but a buddy of mine and his wife made it up to a week before due date. She wasnt feeling it kick, or move and went in. Baby didnt make it, so they had to deliver a dead child. they got to hold it and everything... then had to bury it. It was very rough on them, almost 2 years later got preg again and have healthy girl. He says that she is ocd with it and has to have it sleeping in bed with them and all because she is worried, but he dont mind. He said it gets better, just takes time.

Don't have a wife but my mom went through one. Nothing you can do but be there for her.

Dealt with this myself last year. At 10 weeks, just a couple weeks before we were ready to tell family. It is pretty common, but all you can do is be there for her as she needs you.

Silver lining, you were able to conceive, and it's supposed to come pretty easy again after an MC. My wife and I were pregnant 3 months later, the first month after her Dr. said it was ok again, and we had our beautiful healthy girl last month. Good luck to you two.
