I feel so heart broken for her. Even if she does have 19 kids, a miscarriage is still so hard to go through.

It is sad, especially so far along. 2 out of 21 pregnancies isn't bad though. I think she has been very lucky.

I agree, she is incredibly lucky.

Either way it's still rough and half way through the pregnancy too. I never knew why she stopped taking birth control before, but I guess I know now.

I am heartbroken for her. Even though she has so many children a loss is a loss and losing a child after the first trimester is even harder not just emotionally but physically. T&P for their whole family

I saw that story a few minutes ago. I feel so sad for her and her family. No one deserves to lose a baby. I didn't know her second pregnancy was a miscarriage though. For some reason that gives me hope...

I know I feel so sad for her.

I found out via FB while in class. So sad.

I saw the article when I got on to check my email. I feel so sad for her!

I saw that earlier and my heart breaks for her. I have to admit...when I found out she was pregnant again, I was a bit perturbed...just because of what all of us have gone through. But, seeing that she lost the baby is so incredibly sad.

Me too Sarah. But I feel even more horrible now that she lost the baby. No one deserves that

It's not even a miscarriage, it's a stillbirth. She will have to be induced and deliver this precious baby. I dont know why people keep calling it a miscarriage.

while it's horrible and wouldn't wish this on anyone - I just don't have enough energy to really care right now - and yes I have already been called heartless and cruel. It just is what it is.

joanna26 · #14 December 9th, 2011, 06:28 AM

It is so incredibly sad. And the comments people are making infuriate me. It doesn't matter how many children you have, you will always grieve the loss of a child.

AS unbelievable as it is, they call it a miscarriage until after 20 weeks, because she was just before 20 weeks, the medical community calls it a miscarriage. She will have to deliver it, but that is just what the medical community has deemed it. So sad, my heart breaks for her too and I was also upset when I found out she was pregnant, but no one should have to go through that at any stage of pregnancy! I think we can all agree on that.

Someone in my DDC had the gull to say "it's not a miscarriage, it's a stillbirth, why does the media make it sound so minor" - a miscarriage is not minor either! I made sure to point this out, I probably p'd her off, but she really upset me with that comment!

It surprises me how insensitive some people could be, especially mothers. I mean I wasn't exactly thrilled when I heard the news she was going to have another. But I still didn't want to hear news like this also. So sad all around.

sweet.hun · #17 December 9th, 2011, 12:41 PM

I don't think she's being induced. I read somewhere that she is going to let labor come on naturally.

nichol · #18 December 9th, 2011, 01:13 PM

My 2 cents....please don't shun me and kick me off the board.

I would never wish a loss on anyone and I do feel for her but a womans uterus and body aren't built for baring that many kids. She ran the risk of bleeding out and losing her own life as well. I understand also that they don't use birth control for whatever reasons (religious maybe) but doctors have been advising her against any more pregnancies for a long time now. The risks are outweighing the pros at this point.

It does sadden my heart and I pray she never has to go thru it again.

Leanne78 · #19 December 9th, 2011, 01:39 PM

I feel awful for her because I don't think anyone should have to go through a miscarriage/stillbirth etc... It's just heartbreaking. At the same time, I totally see what Nichol is saying. She knows the risks that she runs by continuing to put her body through this and she still chooses to keep getting pregnant. I think she's really pushing the limits of her body and this loss really doesn't surprise me. I wish for her other childrens' sake she'd give it a rest, but I'm sure she'll be pregnant again soon. It's her choice and she can do what she wants and I totally support her right to be able to make that decision, I just don't agree with her.
