As someone who miscarried my first pregnancy, I can promise you that I was not indifferent. I examined every action and to look for something I could have done differntly.
The solace was/is that virtually every early pregnancy loss is due to genetic deformities rightly called "incompatible with life."
Which is worlds away from intentionally ending a life before birth because of money or relationship problems. And one reason - beides some pretty impressive poor-ness in my own history - that I fight abortion and try to make a difference with tangible help, crochet for the crisis pregnancy center, teaching abstinence in the schools, etc.
I'm sure that is universal. And women apologize for it! I had a friend who grieved after what she thought was a pregnancy turned out to be false - she really felt a loss (and who knows? maybe a soul was really trying to enter the world - I don't dismiss intuition).

Of course - the death of a "real child" is a gut-wrenching thing to go through.

God bless you!
