In reply to the discussion: Jen had a miscarriage [View all]trof
(54,274 posts)I had a very close friend who was an ob/gyn.
He died last year and I sure miss him.
Arthur was an excellent doctor, beloved by his patients.
He was a member of Planned Parenthood and treated many 'charity' cases.
A few years after we became friends (back in the 70s) his wife had a miscarriage.
She is also a physician, so they were both very aware of what was going on with her body.
She eventually had another child, a boy.
And he is now a physician.
When our friends told us of her miscarriage we went to their house to try and comfort them.
Here's what they told us.
"Nature, and a woman's body, sometimes have a way of terminating pregnancies that are flawed."
I know this is not much comfort to you.
But I thought you should hear it.
I'm so sorry.
