Reply #26: I told my friends right away, and family

[SoCalDem]

My first was very exciting, but the 2nd and 3rd I was scared all the way through, and tried to put the whole thing out of my mind as often as possible.. (Our first was born almost 7 weeks early, due to an almost complete abruption, and he had a serious birth defect ..unrelated to the abruption)../ we both almost died... then the 2nd went like a charm..but another abruption with the 3rd and last one.. I was happy to have a tubal ligation, even though it meant I would never have any girls...

How awful for you mrsG :cry:.. I had a friend who had 6 consecutive miscarriages before they gave up completely.. they would have been fantastic parents, but it never was to be..

My own grandmother lost 6 before she successfully carried the 3 that were her only 3..twins were among the 6 she lost ... I cannot imagine how horrible that must have been..

My only "issue" is with complete strangers and (news media) thinking that what's inside a woman's uterus, is THEIR business.. It should always be up to the woman..as to who she tells, when she tells..and why..:)
