OT: Good and unfortunately bad news

Question:

Kevin I am so incredibly sorry for your family’s loss ! :-( That is never never an easy thing to deal with. My advice is to YOU though – please be sure to tell her that its not her fault, God isn’t punishing her for anything. Just be sure to hug her, let her cry, cry yourself if you need to, and be there for each other.

My advice is to YOU though – please be sure to tell her that its not her fault, God isn’t punishing her for anything

Connie done good

Leaving an umbrella in the sock drawer, "Kevin" rumbling, enunciated the following words: First the good news. I did a 3 day fat fast. Weighing myself after 3 days showed 5 lbs off. As TechAddict recommends I will weigh myself in 48 hours to see if more comes off due to retention.

Congratulations! Now the bad news… For those of you that have been following our quest for another child…. My wife unfortunatley had a miscarriage. I just keep telling her that god did it for a reason and that it wouldn’t have been a healthy baby. I told her we’d try again as soon as possible. She’s just worried that she’ll just keep getting miscarriages. Any advice would help.

Aw, bless the both of you, and big HUGS for you too. Not an easy thing to have to go through, for certain. Cheryl ~~~It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end.~~~ (Ursula Le Guin)

Miscarriages generally are the body’s way of terminating a non-viable pregnancy (birth defects, etc). My sister in law had several, and now has two healthy children, with a third on the way. Chris 248/191/175

Response:

Aw, Kevin. I’m sorry for your loss. Having been through it twice myself, I can tell you that the feelings of grief you’re having are your right, and I encourage you to let them play out, and know that everything does indeed happen for a reason, and that another door will open for you. My fondest thoughts are with you and your wife right now. — Bird

Response:

Now the bad news…

I am truly sorry to hear of the loss you both bear. Other folks here have given advice that is good, so I won’t add to their input. I’m sure you know that this very caring and fine bunch of people have you and your wife in their thoughts and prayers. Simone

Response:

Kevin, Does your wife have PCOS? If she has PCOS, miscarriages are common. Glucophage (yes the diabetes drug) has been shown to improve the odds of carrying a pregnancy to term for those with PCOS. I would assume her doctor has tested all of her hormones. Speaking as someone that has had multiple miscarriages, ‘god did it for a reason’ wasnt very helpful to me. I kept thinking of all the children god allowed to be born that were abused, abandoned, or murdered. The most helpful things anyone said to me was, I know you are hurting if/when you want to talk about it, I am available. essense : Now the bad news… : For those of you that have been following our quest for another child…. : My wife unfortunatley had a miscarriage. : I just keep telling her that god did it for a reason and that it wouldn’t : have been a healthy baby. : I told her we’d try again as soon as possible. : She’s just worried that she’ll just keep getting miscarriages. : Any advice would help. : : Thanks, : : Kevin : : 321/235/185 : Waist 50/38(snug)/34 : Remove nospam- to send email : Atkins since 11/25/2000 : My story and pictures at: : http://www.lowcarbdieter.com : : :

For those of you that have been following our quest for another child…. My wife unfortunatley had a miscarriage. I just keep telling her that god did it for a reason and that it wouldn’t have been a healthy baby.

Keven, that is so sad. You have my condolences. Remember though that your wife’s hormones are in an uproar and she may need not only to recuperate physically, but also grieve for the lost life that was a part of her. And you may need to, as well. Don’t rush to start another. Since you mention God, I hope you can just relax, make love (lots!), and remember that it will happen when the time is right…in His time. ConnieG

I’m praying for you and your wife. Even though you don’t know the reasons why this has happened, and even though it hurts, have faith there was a good reason. PS. Congrats on your loss during your fat fast. Atkins Newbie Since 7/12/2001 188/179/105

My mother had 3 miscarriages in 2-1/2 years after my sister was born. The next pregnancy whe carried to term, and it was me! :) I feel as if I was meant to be here. It will be the same for you and your wife when you finally have that beautiful baby. It will be very special. Peter

Response:

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. One in THREE pregnancies ends in miscarriage, lots of women have just one miscarriage. Please let your wife know that one miscarriage doesn’t mean she will have others. But perhaps her thinking so is a sign she isn’t ready to try again yet. — -Beth, Pseudo usenet cop BikeE FX, AT, RANS gliss and Trek R200 Anchorage, Alaska

Response:

Oh Kevin, my condolances. How very sad. My best advice is to not ignore what happened, and to deal with the sorrow. Both of you need to mourn this baby before working on another. And you need to do this together. Maybe even with a grief counselor. In my youth, I did Family Law, and dealt with more than one marriage breakdown because the couple didn’t talk about what happened, and never dealt with the anger, the guilt and the whatnot that comes with a miscarriage. People tend to treat the loss of an unborn child much differently than the loss of a baby ("You can always have another"), forgetting that the couple wanted *this* baby. So I’d say if you both haven’t yet let it all hang out, arrange to do so as soon as possible. My prayers and good thoughts are with you… Take care, Kay 232/144 (lowcarb since 98/12/26) maintenance since May 2000

Response:

Kevin I’m so sorry to hear about the miscarriage. I had four pregnancies, two miscarriages and two babies. My sister went through the same thing. The one thing we learned through it all was to celebrate every pregnancy. You don’t gain anything by refusing to be happy about the pregnancy in case you have a miscarriage. Kitty.
