Holy crap... Your friend sucks, AEM!

And, I knew too, btw... I had an awful feeling all day but thought I was being silly and paranoid until I woke up bleeding.

I just posted this elsewhere, but its appropriate for here...

I think the best comment I got was "I'm so sorry you lost your baby. It just isnt fair". This was perfect.

As for the stupid comments, to name but a few...
"There must have been something wrong with the baby"
"Its gods way"
"Its natural selection"
"Why arent you back at work yet"
"Keep trying, maybe next time you'll get a girl"
"Your babys soul will come back in another baby"
"Just because tests showed nothing wrong with the baby, it doesnt mean there wasnt something wrong"
"These things just happen"
"Lucky you already have children"
"Its because your eggs are old" (I was 34)
"Its because your husbands sperm is old" (he was 36)

These are just a few, and many of them were said more than once.

When I found out my friend had lost another child ( her third) ( a couple days before my son died ) I just gave her the biggest hug said I was so sorry and it wasn't fair.

to all who now have angel babies. I am one to say I am sorry for your losses. xxx

I have heard so many of these from doctors and nurses.

I can't handle the "sorrys" anymore.

Here are some others I've heard

From my grandma:
"Well at least you didn't feel it move"
"Be thankful you weren't far like I was. I remember I was 4 months along during one of mine"

Doctor at ER:
"You did miscarry but good news you are only 26 years old and can get pregnant again."
"They have shots to help you now"

Nurse at my Gyno's office:
"We don't normally see women so early in their pregnancy, especially since its their first, but honey if you are going to miscarry there is nothing we can do about it"

The one that really gets me is "Everything happens for a reason"

NO IT DOESN'T! What is this reason? To give it to me after 2 1/2 years of trying and rip it away all in the same week. I can't fathom the reason for that.

Another one I've had a few times too is 'It's surprisingly common you know'.That doesn't make it any easier and it's horrific that one person has to go through this, let alone many. No-one should have to go through this.

one thing that always upset me was " its natures way the baby must have been very ill" what a load of crap. Yes in some cases that is true but u cant say that about my baby almost like he or she was natures reject material!! Also my daughter after my loss, is living proof that this is crap as i had the most horrific pregnancy with her, bleeding preterm contractions low progesterone and hcg and permanent bed rest. She was here early but she is perfect it was just a bad pregnancy that could have resulted in miscarriage due to hematomas
