Poor anon. Should've said that research found miscarriages to be more common than previously believed and that this specific one likely wasn't the first and definitely not the last.
It's these little details that make all the difference...

It's best to just drop the factoids and offer emotional support in situations like this.

Depending on the woman, this will either help, or shatter them.

The actual odds are around 50% self abort. Mostly within the first month. 10-20% happen between 1 and 3 months. Critically, almost none of the risk is down to the mother. It just happens.

I couldn't get the fear out of my wife's mind on this. All I could do was quantify it, and lay the groundwork that it wasn't her fault if the pregnancy failed.

When I had a colleague who had 3 heartbreaks, and she was expecting her 4th we treated her with proper kid gloves, no carrying, no stress. It felt like a team effort.

"I know this is awful, but it'll probably happen again."

I don't know, chief. Probably not the best approach.

Where I live, living with your parent's is cheaper and better economically even your whole life, after getting married, having kids, ...

I have cousins where 4 generations of familly live together in the same house with no issues.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

If you are my neighbor, there are definitely issues. That house isn't designed for 17 people. I have no idea where y'all sleep.

People are different, happy to hear that you have good relationship with your parents - that's not the case for everyone. Also there people who value their privacy and personal freedom more than the convenience of living in a big family.

Hmmm

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm glad I live in a country where family value is strong and still living parents is less taboo, because the rent is too damn high. Although people who came from individualistic countries are judging. I remember ten years ago I have a friend from France who is weirded out we don't move out even at twenty. But even if we want to, we have a housing crisis that persists to this day?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think when surveyed most wanted to move out but couldn't. Though "we have stronger family values" sure is a nicer way to look at it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oh yeah definitely most would move out. Many of us who can afford to move out of our hometown and explore. Some don't return but many who do settle down, and live close to our parents' home from just down the road.

No topic is completely off limits to jokes, but some combinations of joke and audience sure as hell are.

Yup. My coworker's wife lost a baby after announcing it to me and other management (he was excited), and it was well within the first trimester. I felt really bad for him, and the best I could do is not bring it up and just focus on work.

It's hard to place yourself into someone else's position, so if in doubt, it's usually best to stay quiet.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I cooked at a restaurant with a guy who had something similar happen a couple years before I started there. His nickname was angry johny because he was so irritable. Whenever tears in heaven by Clapton came on he would would yell at the manager to skip the song and dissappear into the walk in. He ended up quitting for other reasons but a year or two later I ran into him at a bar and he and the same lady had a healthy birth and all his anger melted away and he turned into a really rad dood. He even apologized to me about his behavior in said kitchen.

Can't help but think this why we use to have fertility rituals.

Some genes mixes are less compatible than others

Marry the one you can easily procreate with.

I know we're not supposed to say it but consider where we're posting here, a series a miscarriages actually is your fault, technically your genes faults but you are your genetic code.

Think how much hatred this fuck put out there because he chose a nearly incompatible mat.

Honestly I don't even know where to begin with this comment. Like, blaming people for their miscarriage is a taboo and for good reason. It doesn't matter how right you might be, it is still wrong on so many levels.
