My wife has lost her last three pregnancies (the first two around 20 weeks, the third around 16 weeks). She is a very strong woman, and I wouldn't have thought to use the phrase PTSD, but looking back, it fits.
Women obviously bear the majority of the stress (carrying the baby, unavoidable thoughts of 'what did I do to cause this?', etc.), but as the spouse in this situation it was always nice - though relatively rare - when friends/coworkers/etc. would check in on me and ask how I'm doing. I don't have PTSD, but I'm definitely not the same as I was before my wife's first loss.
