Why isn't talking about miscarriage normalized?

I’m sorry for your loss. Like @V00doo said people just don’t know what to say. It’s sad, it’s a loss, us women get so excited and start planning this baby’s future so it becomes an even harder loss. We should talk about it more, it’s so common, we end up feeling shame and suffering in silence and that’s wrong. Hugs 🤗

While i was pregnant i joined lots of pregnancy groups on fb and there were so many posts about miscarriages. They had to put a trigger warning because it was getting all the other pregnant women scared but its so common and youre not alone. Its a tragedy you have to live with always wondering what that little baby would have been like but scientists say the body rejects the embryo if its not developing properly so lots of women have miscarriages so early before they even know theyre pregnant.

Regardless its painful and im sorry

I don’t think it’s taboo it’s just that most people
Don’t dwell on unpleasant or sad topics. I don’t actually believe miscarriages should be regarded as sad. I think they should be regarded more as disappointment and then turned to future expectations.

In my culture I believe that if a child miscarries it because it is not ready to be born. God calls its tiny soul back to heaven and what remains miscarries. The same soul is sent back again when it is ready to try again.

Sad things make people uncomfortable is what I've learnt. When you don't necessarily have the experience you run the risk of inadvertently saying something off and offensive so best to just give a common platitude and maybe a hug and move on to a more pleasant topic. Another thing is that there really isn't a solution to it so people may not really know what else to say.

Im sorry for your loss, it isnt something one gets over ever, you learn to live with it.

I realised a lot were scared to say the wrong thing, or they just couldnt relate. It should be a more open conversation, like death. Im soery for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss
