It happens pretty regularly but no one is allowed to talk about it. Go to your friends and family and you will find commonality.

We have had two. It sucks man, I'm sorry. Best way I found to think of it was that it's the body's way of saying, "something is not 1/2

That is exactly what it is. There was something seriously wrong and body cancelled the process to minimize the risks to the mother.

It happens alot that's why the dr. Doesn't even want to see you for a certain amount of time and why you should wait to announce it.

Ob/Gyns really need to make sure women know how common this actually is so they understand it's not a personal failure. It's normal.

So much this! If pregnancy and healthcare generally weren’t considered a $$ liability, we wouldn’t have to suffer 1st trimester losses alone

I hate that this is true. The basic care for this isn't expensive, but it's no money maker so it's dismissed as non-necessary.

We found out almost all of our friends and family had a miscarriage after we had ours. I think this should be normalized in heath class.

5 years ago | Likes 53 Dislikes 0

One of my biology teachers in HS did. He told us that miscarriage is FAR more common than we think, and that many women experience them >

5 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

so early on they don’t even know it happened. They’re late for a period, and then they get it, and never even realize they were pregnant.

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

After lots of reading, my conclusion is that it only seems more common now because our pregnancy tests work earlier and earlier.

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Agreed. (Not that that in any way diminishes the grief of knowing they lost a child.)

Be careful with "it happens more than you think," as it can seem to minimize the loss they're feeling.
