Question about miscarriage: did you or someone you know ever have one?

[Nazgol]

I just did and I'm so devastated 😞. Any tips to prevent future ones?

It's interesting. Before my wife (we're divorced now after 20+ years of marriage) had a miscarriage, I thought it was rare. Then, many people came forward to tell us they had had a miscarriage, my mother, her mother, my grandmother, other relatives and friends. It turns out that a miscarriage is pretty common, and that knowledge helped us through our grief. But because it's a private thing, you don't hear much about it... until you've had one,

You can't prevent a miscarriage. You can possibly reduce the possibility and better understand why you may have miscarried by getting genetic counseling. We did, and went on to have three healthy kids.

I'm sorry you miscarried. Be sad and take the time to grieve. Best wishes for the future.

Well, my wife had 4 in a row, then 2 boys. I can not give advice but if anyone thinks it is "no biggie" they are heartless or just plain stupid. We had several years that were no fun. What did she expect me to do? I was young and not a perfect husband. She was concerned about sex producing kids, while I wanted sex for fun. Not as smart then as I am now. I am not an Einstein, but not a dumbass either. A doctor can tell you what may cause these.. My wife had 2 abortions long before me. She kept it hidden from me which caused some issues. Abortions change a woman? I myself can't answer that.

Had one a few years back. Still struggling with it but prob was for the best since it wasn't the right time to have another baby.

I am so sorry. Yea I have known people who have had them and it was horrible. I can't get too much into it.

I am so so so sorry. I think you should find a mental health professional and your significant other, your family, and your friends to lean on during these hard times

My ex had one, years ago, due to male triploidy syndrome.

I'm sorry for your loss, and while nothing I can say will ever blunt the pain that you're likely going through, I can say that you will eventually be able to move on. You'll even be able to try again, one day, as the memory and hurt eventually fade.

It's unfortunate, but it does happen. You're not alone in that experience, and it's not your fault.

My daughter's first baby was still born.
Her then boyfriend and now husband is very supportive, caring and a ''good man'' in general. That was her main anchor to emotionally digest it.
Not too long after this they were blessed with two nice girls - without doing anything specific to prevent another 'accident'.

My best friend had one about two months ago. Everything was pointing to a healthy pregnancy, she did everything right, ate healthy, etc. They always seem so random. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

My ex-fiance had a still born. I think my grandmother had two miscarriages, or something, otherwise, I would've had two more aunts. I just know that they died almost as soon as they were born.

Since you’re asking the question, I hope you’re not blaming yourself.

Hello 1 of my ex's had 1 die to the doctor putting her on BC while she was pregnant. Stress and birth control will def cause 1! I'm so sorry for you and yours.
