I’m not sure if you have ever experienced miscarriage, I truly hope not, but trust me....I was absolutely and totally devastated when I miscarried and even though I am pregnant again I am still grieving for the last pregnancy. And both were conceived the old fashioned way!
I'm sorry for upsetting anyone... I think perhaps the part I thought was over the top in the article was the hospital scene of the 2 of them gripping each others hands tearfully....
But you do raise an interesting point...and one that I hope doesn't upset to many people....I actually have the opposite issue, i get pregnant very easily and had to be careful with contraception....and was incredibly grateful to go through the menopause because it took away the risk of pregnancy. I think we live in a generation of women that with the easy availability of birth control...have forgotten .......how easily and unexpectedly conception used to happen. My dad was one of 13 children. I cannot imagine having a family anywhere near that size. But large families used to be fairly common.
I did have a miscarriage in the early stages of a relationship and although it was painful, I was grateful, because in no way was i ready for a child. I didnt plan my other children, just got pregnant quickly, almost accidentally. I did want children, but hadnt planned to have them then! Then had to be careful afterwards with contraception!!
It sounds as if there is a whole spectrum between women who want children and sadly cant have children,
through women who have no interest in having children at all...
.to women who are trying to have babies, but finding it tough,
through to women who get pregnant easily and to whom miscarriage may well be a relief!
through to women who would like children, but are scared to bring children into the crazy world of pandemic and climate change, so are chosing not to have children!
A miscarriage may well be awful for an awful lot of women. And i do have massive sympathy for anyone going through anything like this. To have to give birth to a dead baby must be dreadful.
But it isn't everyone's experience. Which may well be why miscarriage is such a complicated subject to discuss.
some women are trying really hard not to get pregnant, and some women are trying really hard to get pregnant. And most women fall somewhere in the middle!
Sorry for derailing the thread...back to her Meghanness and Harribo.......wondering what will happen next for them..!!!
