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?

My wife and I experienced the same thing the first time she got pregnant. She was completely devastated and so was I. You said the only thing you can do is be there for her, your absolutely right. I didn't know how to deal with my wife and her emotions afterwards. She would push me away, and then expect comfort. I pulled away for a couple of weeks because I was unsure on how to cope with my feelings as well as hers. I look back now and know that I was wrong for pulling away. We made it through a rough patch and were able to find comfort in knowing that God had bigger plans for us. We have two healthy little shits now and couldn't be happier. Things will get better and you will become a stronger husband and father because of this.
