Today, I had a miscarriage. My partner doesn't understand why I'm upset, saying, "It wasn't even a real baby yet." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had my second miscarriage. My husband responded by throwing a bitch fit because I "totally blindsided him with this miscarriage shit” knowing he wanted kids, and if he'd known he wouldn’t have married me in the first place. He threw his wedding band in the trash and stormed off. FML
Today, I miscarried my baby. My teen sister, who has autism and can’t handle being around children, congratulated me on getting my freedom back, and also on miscarrying before I got fat like our mom. I can’t even yell at her because she wouldn’t understand why I’m upset. FML
Today, I had to break the news to my husband that I had miscarried our first child, to which he replied, "Thank God!" and told me he wanted a divorce. FML
Today, my husband rushed me to the hospital, and we were told that I'd had a miscarriage. Neither of us knew I was pregnant. FML
Today, my husband and I sat our 8 year-old son down and gently explained to him that I had a miscarriage and he won't be having a little brother or sister after all. He responded by dancing around the room and celebrating. FML
Today, I was at work, when a co-worker began to shake a near empty box. Without thinking, I shouted "What if there was a baby in there? You just killed it!" I then remembered she recently suffered a miscarriage. FML
Today, a week after my miscarriage, my little sister thought it appropriate to wrap her belt around her neck and scream, "Hey look, it's your baby!" FML
Today, while tearfully telling my closest friends that I had miscarried my first pregnancy, the first thing out of their mouths was, "So, does this mean you're going to start drinking with us again?" FML
Today, my mother-in-law had a bitch fit because I had a miscarriage and my husband and I are having a difficult time. It’s her birthday and she said I should, “stop being an attention-hogging drama queen” and that, “shit happens, get over it” She doesn’t see what's wrong with her statements. FML
Today, after a shitty year in which I got pregnant, a miscarriage happened, then my boyfriend turned into more of asshole, which I thought it was part of the miscarriage so I stayed with him, but he kept blaming me so I broke up with him. FML

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my son, Patrick, at five months into my pregnancy (I went into early labour), 5 years ago. It’s something that a whole lot more women than we realize experience and yet still seems taboo to speak about. They were very much real to you and so were the dreams and aspirations you had about being their mom. I hope you reach out to some of the women in your life and find real support.

your partner is an ass. end of discussion. I am very sorry for the loss of your child. seek out support groups either online or that are safely meeting. I hope you find your path to healing physically and emotionally.

I'm so sorry 😞 I've been through it as well and it's so heartbreaking. do you have anyone you can reach out to for support? I found writing a letter to my baby helped a lot, that and just allowing myself to grieve for as long as I needed. you are not alone in this, and I know it probably feels like you're in this bad dream that you can't escape but I promise as time goes by things won't feel as heavy anymore. also a neat little thing I read a while ago, is that the DNA from your baby is now ALWAYS going to be apart of you, so in a way a tiny bit of your baby will always be with you ❤

This might be a sign. is he really the one who you want to have kids with? I lost my first child long before I met my wife and she always remembers the date

you have good reasoning and a good wife for remembering the important things.
