re: Anyone ever experience a miscarriage?

A doctor once told me that the reason some women experience a miscarriage is that something is physically wrong with the fetus, and the woman's body rejects it. I believe this because years ago a friend of mine was sixteen weeks pregnant. She started spotting and her doctor believed that she might have a miscarriage. A team of doctors worked about eight hours to keep her from losing the baby. She didn't lose the baby and carried it full term. She had a baby boy that was mentally retarded. Her child was loved beyond all means and he died three years ago at the age of 31. The life span of a retarded person is relatively short. His mom told me something that I'll never forget. She said that she envied her son because it must be great to live life without a care in the world. I know that I shifted from the OP but who are we to ask why God does certain things?

Wife had one and yes, it was not a good day. If you can fathom to look at it this way at this time our doctor said this was probably good in the long run... usually meant something was not right with the pregnancy and the body shed it - it was not likely any fault of hers. Don't worry too much wife conceived shortly after and we raised two wonderful healthy kids. Heal up and try try again and good luck!

Added this to my original post, but we were super excited prior to the miscarriage at about 8 weeks so we told our parents and close friends. Apparently you should wait till 12 weeks because the chance of a miscarriage drops significantly after that. However, I think that rule is probably meant for folks who don't drink with their friends when they go out. That first request for water at the restaurant or your friends house pretty much announces it for you.

Exact same boat. Close friends and family knew. Now I'm having to tell everyone so they don't ask her about the baby

It sucks, but it's for the best. We found out when we didn't get a heartbeat during the ultrasound. Humans are complicated organisms and when something isn't right, her body shuts it down. My wife's OB said it was close to 40 percent of first pregnancies that end in miscarriage. You just don't realize it because nobody ever wants to mention it, and who would.

You will be surprised at how many people figure this out when they see you and your wife. Women have an uncanny knowledge when they see a "pregnant" woman and will keep their mouths shut. After the event you attended, your phone will be ringing off the hook and your wife will start laughing when she talks with all of her friends. She will learn to accept that the miscarriage was not her fault and you and your wife will produce healthy children.

Been in your shoes. It's a helpless horrible feeling. Thoughts and prayers to you and the wife.

At time like this it certainly helps to know how common it is. It doesn't make it easier but it helps. Good luck.

I have not experienced having a wife miscarry, but I have had family members who have miscarried. There are really no words to say to one who loses a child - at any age. Please accept my condolences. God Bless you and your wife.

If they pass it naturally without having surgical procedure done, it is basically the worst most painful cycle ever. There isn't anything you can do, but the tiny zygote is very painful to pass because there is no natural dilation of the cervix.

Unfortunately my ex wife had 4. Devastating for all involved.
