My mother had a miscarriage about a year before I was born. If she had carried that baby to term I never would have been

"The baby has a strong heartbeat," the ultrasound tech told me. I saw it myself, beating on the screen. It passed from my body the next day.

I've never posted before. But I am a month out from my first miscarriage. I guess I just like knowing I'm not alone.

I had a miscarriage two years ago. It still hurts, but please feel free to message me if you need to talk.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That goes for anyone dealing with this. It is not something you should deal with alone, but no one feels comfortable talking about it.

Thank you. I was just past the halfway point and I thought I was in the clear. It feels like the air has left the room.

That's awesome, but seriously is there a guy version?

This statue wasn't made about miscarriages, it was made about abortion. The child is offering forgiveness. Check google.

They should make another statue showing a poor mother that can't support the kids she never meant to have, and all the down stream affects.

9 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 9

Judging by /a/XQoUa I think it might be "effect"

Or maybe one about people being charitable to the poor. Helping families in need.

Or a statue of a kid having a great life living with a loving family that adopted her.

About 1 in 4 women, tragically. I can't wait until Republicans outlaw miscarriages & hold God accountable for his crimes against the unborn.

As childless mother, this terrifies me. In some states, a miscarriage can actually be prosecuted as "feticide". Its scary :c

That is just sick, do those dumbass lawmakers not know the difference between a miscarriage and an abortion?

I know this pain well for the wound is still fresh. I put on a strong face for my wife and try to help her through this difficult time.

9 years ago | Likes 52 Dislikes 1

She's understandably distant and emotional. So much so that my greatest fear is not only having lost my daughter but my wife as well.

9 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 0

She'll come back to you. You just need to give her time and lots of love. Let her know it's okay to grieve for as long as necessary.

You don't have to be super strong. My husband didn't want to talk about our loss, but it happened, I was there. For me, it helped to talk

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Appreciate the kindness. It's taking her some more time. She hasn't said anything after she learned what happened. :/

Please, both of you get into grief therapy to help both of you through this.

My wife and I still talk about how old our kids would be now. It's a weird feeling to miss someone you've never met. A painful longing.

As a father of 3 I couldn't imagine that pain nor do I ever want to.

My 4-year-old daughter mentioned her "missing older brother" several times for a year. We never even talked about him after she was born.

My mom and I talk about the siblings that would have been before me quite a bit. She's so thankful for my brother and me it's humbling.

My son would have been 12 this year. He was a late term loss, I have thought about him every single day since. Still aches. ????

My first daughter was almost 3m when she passed. I will always think of her and what she would be like as she grew.

This may seem mean but I honestly don't get that. It's a miscarriage it's normal and occurs often why do people get so hung up on it.

You don't have kids or ever been pregnant. 140 characters is not enough to convey the emotion that transition involves

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

I see your getting down voted pretty hard. From our perspective we were just like 'ok that didn't work out, let's go again'.

To some degree I think my wife was comforted by how often it happens.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's my point pretty much I feel like if people knew it was a extremely common thing they wouldn't be so destroyed or feel so bad about it

Yeah,no, I know what your saying ... I'm just not sure why you're being down voted mate.

Cancer may be normal, but still tragic. Particularly for a woman, feeling a young life move then be silent stays with you for life.

Big difference between miscarriage at 18 weeks, when you've already felt the baby move, and at 10 weeks with a blighted ovum like mine.

It's okay. My girlfriend and I had a miscarriage and I didn't feel too bent out of shape about it. Oh well.

I think some people just feel more connected to the child in the womb than others.

Hopefully you'll never have to fully understand how it feels. I honestly hope you can stay ignorant. Just try to be more empathetic IRL.

But like I have had cousins get bent out of shape on this and I was there for them and everything but I just don't get the emotional stuff.

Its painful because a baby died inside you. Just cause it was small doesnt mean it wasnt a life, just cause its common doesnt mean less pain

Also it might be common to a proffesional. To the mother it was her child.

I saw this same pic with a title about abortion... Get your stories straight, people!

9 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 7

The correct medical terminology for a miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion, which is pretty fucked up, imo.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

very technically any foetus expelled before the age of viability is an abortion.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

Why not just call them what they are. That's a person. A living person. There's no difference between a fetus and baby except development

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 7

Because whether you think they're alive or not, MY concern as a doctor is if they're still in the uterus or not. And how many pt to treat ;)

I'd imagine this one is correct, unless the artist is a manipulative scumbag.
