Praying for a culture in which both abortions and miscarriages are equally grieved.
For your interest Megan dear.
Brad Parscale is saying he went nuts because he lost two children. People are guessing he meant from miscarriage.
I grieve for the babies I lost everyday.
Maybe anecdotal, but the “shame” seems most prevalent among my Catholic friends. Some have said it’s God settling a score for earlier sins. Had a friend some 35ish years ago have a child born with severe birth defects. The child died within b.c. a few days. The Catholic paternal grandfather asked them what sin they did to disappoint God.
My daughter had a miscarriage before she carried her daughter to term. Another of her friends just had one.
It is nothing to be ashamed of. But, man, some people are idiots about what they say. I think that’s why a lot of women don’t talk about it.
The other “problem” these days is that women are taking pregnancy tests almost as soon as they are finished having sex (a slight exaggeration.). My wife knew my daughter was pregnant the second time after two days when she would have had per period.
And my daughter’s friend had just sent out for a “gender” hormone test—well before it would have been evident on an ultrasound. The results —Yay! Its a Boy!—arrived the day of the miscarriage. That was certainly not a pleasant day.
I guess my point is that just because it is possible to know and communicate something, doesn’t always mean its necessary.
Miscarrying sucks. I feel horrible for anyone going through that.
I have read Markle’s account of her miscarriage. I have had a few miscarriages and never experienced what she described. I think Markle is a phony. I cannot trust her to tell the truth. Did she really lose a baby in utero? Or has she just not been getting enough attention lately? What ever happened, I hope Harry has some support. He has been completely compromised by this woman. I have grieved my losses, but believe life is for the Iiving. And no, I don’t need to tell everybody about the upsets/problems I have. I don’t need to share my innermost thoughts/difficulties to be fulfilled as a person.
Being an Anglophile and wife of a British man, I hope that Harry gets the help he needs after Me-again is done with him. I can sympathize with the crushing homesickness that he must be experiencing, having been away from his homeland for nearly a year.
I had 3 miscarriages. I just recommend not getting excited about a pregnancy until you see a heartbeat on the ultrasound.
Once there’s a heartbeat, the chance of loss is small.
I think it’s good for people around to know if you are pregnant. You don’t feel great. Then you do need time to get over a miscarriage. Homormonally it’s a roller coaster.
Me no believe Meghan...
i did not tell anybody i was pregnant until I got thru the 1st trimester.
If I do not know you well, and I mean well, I do not need to know if you are pregnant or miscarried.
There's no stigma about it that I ever knew of but I can sure see why you wouldn't want to rehash it with everyone you meet or listen to all the ignorant comments from total strangers about it.
It's nobody's business but those to whom you wish to tell it.
Grieve.
This sounds idiotic
If there’s no stigma to killing babies purposely
there certainly isn’t for stillborn/miscarriages
My mom had 3 kids before she was 27
spaced out over 12 years. She waited 6 more
and lost a boy c. ‘58, a contributing factor was dr.
prescribed diet pills during pregnancy, which
wouldn’t happen today
Parents wanted another kid so bad, they
had me another boy probably before mom was fully ready...
I lasted 7 months before I was extracted
with me trying to bust out head first aggressively after 6...mom got
really sick and was dying, given the Last Rites...i was
4lb 11 oz with a 4 lb head ...we all made it,
I ended up in a then experimental incubator for weeks... she was
upset that the attitude then was save the baby before mom
Mom got pregnant again in early 60 and fainted when she heard
the news. Came to and eventually had another baby boy
completely to term delivered normally
Yes they were sad about the loss of “Christopher”
but no one put on a Scarlet Letter on anyone
or even tried to sue the dr. it was just accepted as
a not insurmountable life event
My word, most of us move on over any type of loss. Most of us aren’t really into your intimate life happenings. Grieve in your own way but don’t expect the world to stop.
Up until recently women did not announce an impending arrival until the quickening.

Warning: not for the squeamish. *VERY* raw and cathartic.
