Not sure why you're being downvoted. As the partner of someone who had a miscarriage I was happy to see someone thought of me as well. I definitely also have PTSD from it. I remember my partner being in pain and bleeding and experiencing the sadness of loss on top of all of it. I was scared and lonely and I feel and felt helpless.
- bregma 7y agoSorry for your loss.
- russnewcomer 7y agoI hope you and your partner have found help and support for recovery.
- p1necone 7y agoThey're probably being downvoted because, despite being reasonable sentiment assuming they're commenting in good faith, it's exactly the kind of "plausible deniability" that MRAs/redpillers/alt-righters use to derail discussion of issues they don't agree with without outright stating their real opinions.
- gwbas1c 7y agoOP: > Not sure why you're being downvoted I find that people on Hacker News tend to downvote any kind of short comments. When I came across this thread, it was empty and I didn't like seeing an empty thread, so I wanted to say something to break the ice. (At this point, the post has 18 points, so clearly cooler heads prevailed.) My wife tells stories about seeing her father suddenly start sobbing when she came across items that her parents bought for their first pregnancy. Later, when we had a miscarriage, (fortunately very early,) my boss told me about his. Even though we were on the phone, I could tell he was holding back tears. Thankfully we haven't had serious fertility problems. What helped in our case was, throughout my life, hearing about my parents' miscarriage, sister's miscarriage, cousin's miscarriage. I knew it was normal.
