I'm sorry man

I tried to tell my wife to think positive and if something did happen it was just her body's way of saying something wasn't right. Apparently that was not good advice.

You are not wrong, but it's definitely one of those situations where men need to rationalize it where girls just need comfort and nurturing.

Bloody hell. My twins need 20 hours each of driving experience and it's a real pain in the ass. Everywhere we go, they drive, and we log it. But it takes us so much longer to get anywhere because they're tentative and careful and all that. I'm glad they are that way, but grrrrr. So much wasted time.

It will all come back around when you get to send them on errands like sending them to the store to buy some ground beef and having them come back with cube steak and then you get to laugh at them for not knowing the difference between ground beef and cube steak the rest of their lives.

Yeah man, just hug her or something and don't say anything. Really sorry this happened to you guys.

Oh no So sorry to hear that noodle. When we had our miscarriage the less that was said the better for my wife. Just being there for the comfort can be enough.

That's harsh, dude.

Were at the hospital now so we still don't know for sure. Could've been a false alarm but the things that happened earlier today lead me to believe it will be bad news.

Hoping for the best.

Basically they can't tell if she miscarried because she's super early in the pregnancy, around 3 weeks. She has a blood test Monday to know for sure (comparing some number to today) . With what's been going on she's pretty set that she had a miscarriage though. At least it was early I suppose.

She must've found out she was pregnant right away somehow. I don't know why she took the test....

Could be that the test was wrong as well.

Hope everything goes for the best man.

That's what I asked the doctor but they confirmed she was indeed pregnant, they were able to see the gestational sac. They couldn't tell if it was growing or in a downturn, that's what the blood test Monday will say.

We've also got another problem with the current one. This week he decided I'm his favorite person in the world, probably because I'm not home much during the week. If we are both home he only wants me to hold, play, or feed him. He actually cries bloody murder if my wife tries.

This was a particularly trying mothers day for that reason, but compounded because of what happened Friday.

Not sure how to rectify this.

He is a child and you do not "rectify". My 2 year old latches to his mom like nobody's business and my 4 year old and I have been best buddies. Kids latch on to one parent a ton. My 10 year old did the same thing with her mom. It also swaps around and stuff. Also little dudes read emotions and she may be nervous about everything thats been going on and the little guy can feel it. You cant fake it with them either. Also he is probably fine 5 minutes after you leave.
