Sad today.

[semillama]

My wife miscarried last night. It was a chromosomal thing, and she was only about 7 weeks in, so it's not life-shattering or anything, but still, it was our first pregnancy. We'll try again, but today it's hard to focus on work. Need to take several breaks for distraction.

Send some nice thoughts my wife's way, if you would.

1. God damn, that's sad, no matter how early in the term.

I hope you both feel better soon.

5. So sorry to hear that.. It's never an easy thing to deal with

It's not uncommon, and many people have miscarriages the first time.. you will probably sail through the next one..

Allow yourselves time to grieve, because it's the loss of "what could have been", and you need to let it go in your own way and time.. Friends & family can say the most hurtful things without even meaning to..

My grandmother had 6 miscarriages and 2 stillbirths before she had a live baby.. I cannot even imagine how sad she must have been and for such a long time..Catholic women her age had one baby after another :cry:

:hug: to you and your wife

6. That sucks- I know from experience.

Went through that three times once, long ago, in another life.

Don't focus on the "trying again" right now- give yourselves time to mourn.
Take care of each other until this sadness runs its course, and you can
once again feel the joy in your hearts that made you fall in love in the first place.

These things take time. Don't rush it.

:grouphug: to you and your wife.

8. Oh man...

That happened to us 3 Christmases ago. I know what you're going through. :hug:

FWIW, MrsCoffee got pregnant right away after she miscarried. Now we have BabyCoffee, and he's a complete maniac. So, you know, you could end up with a lunatic child in the not too distant future.

12. I know exactly how you feel. It happened to me twice. It's heartbreaking.

Take the time you need to grieve and do not blame yourselves in any way. These things sometimes happen. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

13. I'm so sorry

My first pregnancy ended at 6 weeks. It was painful at the time and no one quite knew what to say (it was unplanned and I wasn't married). I later had three normal preganancies.

My thoughts are with you and your wife.

:hug:

14. Sorry... it happened to me a couple of months ago

it would have been my first and I'm 35, soon to be 36, with a iffy ob/gyn history. Who knows when/if I'll have the chance again. But, having been in your wife's place, I am sending her the most positive vibes I can. Best of luck and have fun trying again.

22. I'm so sorry to hear this, semillama.

This is not an easy thing. Good wishes to both of you.

23. You and your wife have every right to be devestated.

Don't feel guilty because this "is not life shattering or anything." The fact is, it is life shattering. Time will allow you to heal, but you're going through hell today. Take care of each other through this bad time.

24. So sorry...

Positive vibes sent to you and your wife. Best wishes! It will work out for you guys in the future.

25. I am sorry :^( I had two like that before I was able to have my sons. *hugs* It was an extremely

depressing experience for me. Do what you can to support each other through all of it.
