re: Wife had a miscarriage..This sucks

I had one before my first child and two before my second child.

To echo everyone else, be there for her - especially as a "screener".

My husband was awesome in keeping well meaning but super aggravating family from being all up in my business.

I found out later he kept his mom from coming up and staying with us because he knew that even though I love his mom, I wouldn't want her in our home during that time. The only people I wanted to be around were him, my parents, and my sister.

One thing that was really hard for me was to be around pregnant women. I felt like I was being unfair and irrational but it really hurt to see pregnant women for a while. I would think I was fine and then I would go to a party and see a friend who was pregnant and I would get super sad.

I have two teenagers now and my first miscarriage was almost 17 years ago but I sometimes still think about what that baby would have been like now.
