I know this is a place for politics, memes, racism, and whatever. But I feel this is warranted given that the white race is dwindling and that we so desperately want to have many kids.
Husband and I were excited to soon publicly announce our pregnancy. I was about ten weeks along. Went in for my first prenatal appointment and then scheduled and ultrasound. Before I could even get that ultrasound, I started bleeding. Went to the ER to find out I had miscarried.
We’re, of course, devastated. This was our first pregnancy (as we’ve been patiently trying for a while). Apart from the physical and emotional pain, I think we’re also very discouraged. Ready to try again when possible, but also praying for a better outcome, hoping that this was just part of the high miscarriage statistics within the first trimester and nothing to do with fertility.
So, I’m just asking for any prayer, encouragement, advice, etc. as we navigate this grief and move on to trying again.
Thank you, ConPro.
I know you’re trying to help, but blighted ovums (what I had) are quite common (make up about 50% of all reported miscarriages) and are caused by chromosomal abnormalities when the embryo is growing. There’s nothing I could’ve done to prevent it.
Being too skinny or doing lots of exercise while pregnant adds unnecessary stress to the body.
