I too am the only child of a mother who had 8 losses before having me after 18 years of marriage & not even knowing she was pregnant. Neither her or my dad ever gave up hope. Miscarriage is extremely sad for a couple & yes we should express how sorry we are for their loss when it occurs, however it is good to try & be hopeful. Before I became a midwife I worked in paediatric oncology where many of the children I nursed were terminally ill, non of them ever gave up hope & neither did their parents & the positivity created by them was the most inspiring thing I’ve ever seen, & it helped them fight what is a devastating illness. Better that than to just give up, don’t you think ?

It's implying that they have a negative attitude getting in their way. When there are physiological problems preventing or maintaining a pregnancy, it's not so simple.

I cannot imagine how sad it must be to suffer 4 of those losses. However I would say as a miracle baby myself (it’s what my mother always called me), it can happen when you least expect it. My parents were married 18 years before I was born, my mother suffered 8 losses due to an incompatibility of her blood group with the foetuses. Then she got pregnant with me at 41 & didn’t even know she was pregnant until she gave birth. I was 3.5lb & obviously premature but they couldn’t be sure how much (this was back in the late 60s). However after care & being in hospital several weeks my parents took me home on Christmas Eve. I lost my mother on my 12th birthday but I know I made her life complete & I have many wonderful memories of her to this day. I sincerely hope you get to have happy memories with a little one of your own one day, Please do not give up. I also have worked with woman who have had multiple miscarriages & go on to have healthy successful pregnancies in their 30s & 40s.

I am the only surviving child born to my mother and I was conceived after much heartache and an adoption. No offense intended, but unless you've experienced a miscarriage and been in the trenches, please don't offer pat phrases of "positivity". It is far more helpful to simply offer a heart felt "I'm so sorry." or "I'm praying for you." (and then do it, regularly).

A loss is a loss and VERY difficult, especially with the pressure to marry and procreate as soon as possible. <br /><br />Am happy for them, truly, but many have tried for years without success and adoption or fertility treatments might be while a viable choices for some, it could be too costly for others.<br /><br />My husband and I are well into our 30s and married over 10 years and sadly, have had no pregnancy to report aside from 4 miscarriages.

I have children, a 23 year old son & a 21 year old daughter & No wouldn’t want them to have been married with children at 20, but that’s because it wouldn’t have been right for them. Both my children want good careers, both have been to university & my son is now studying to be a surgeon & my daughter starts her new job as a teacher in September. However I’m very happy for Lauren as she appears to have wanted to be married young, her & Josiah make a lovely couple & seem genuinely in love. Becoming a mother also seems to be something she wanted from early on so I’m pleased that this has happened for them as a couple. We are all different & all entitled to our opinion. Just because you & I wouldn’t have wanted that for our own children is one thing, what Lauren & Josiah do is up to them.Fuzzyferetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-68793487449213088032019-05-22T20:12:07.475-05:002019-05-22T20:12:07.475-05:00Everyone saying she is too young, she is married a...Everyone saying she is too young, she is married and choose this life. I wasn't much older than her when I had my 1st and my husband and I were not married at the time and we didn't get married until our son was 2.5 years old and I'm not just 3 years older than when I had him and expecting our second child and day now. So she knows what she wants at a young age it's not a bad thing, some people know what they want out of life and go for it. And yes I know I had a child out of marriage and yes, I do enjoy hearing about the Duggars and Bates because it's interesting to see and understand another way of life, than the one you live. Also no I don't regret having my son when I did and neither does my husband, we always say he is our unexpected blessing that we didn't know we needed at then the time.

And how does it make any sense at all that he would punish all of humankind down through the centuries because of the "sins" of Adam and Eve? Not a single person was ever given an invitation to be born, let alone the choice to accept or decline.<br />Comedian George Carlin's take on God and religion pretty much hits home for me: <br />“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion is just mind-control.” <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
