If it makes someone else uncomfortable then that's their problem. Thankfully I have not experienced it but, if I did, I personally would not want to discuss it as it would be too painful a topic. I remember when I first found out I was pregnant with our baby and trying not to get too excited because I knew something like this could happen but it was impossible not to become emotionally attached to this special little person sharing my body even if he was just the size of a grape or whatever. It's different for everyone. My sister has had 5 miscarriages, once pregnant with twins. She now has one girl and one boy but if asked she would not say she has 8 children, 2 of whom survived. At the same time I can understand that your first little baby was a real person who you loved and that you want to remember him as part of the family. I think that's great and I would probably do the same. I guess everyone copes differently.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031165273936456127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357427452062540865.post-15206066029768218932009-10-04T09:49:15.305-04:002009-10-04T09:49:15.305-04:00I love you, Lauren!

I think some people would rather not talk about it because it does in fact hurt to say those things out loud. We have had two now. I almost died during the first one, and the second one was just a few months ago. We didn't tell very many people about it because people are stupid and say stupid things, and its hard enough to deal with the loss let alone deal with stupid people...I'm just sayin! But...I do think you are pretty awesome for sharing your story. So sad.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768798026214767256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357427452062540865.post-20811343290426748732009-10-03T19:47:09.351-04:002009-10-03T19:47:09.351-04:00Good on you, Lauren.

It's so common, where does the bias come from? But another friend of mine had one early this year, and she too has spoken out about it and didn't feel ashamed, so people like you give me hope that the trend is reversing.

I am scared of miscarriage someday because I know how common it is (my own mom had one, in between my brother & sister) but that also almost makes me a little less freaked out about it in a weird way. But yours is one of the worse stories I've heard and you are incredibly brave for sharing it. Thank you.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159869224596312134noreply@blogger.com
