That's so tragic.

That would have been such a mindfuck, but channelling it into the rage of birthing could work?

Also, I would be very interested to see the stats of first-time pregnancies ending in miscarriage vs. miscarriage after other children. I have this feeling that it's disproportionately first pregnancies where this happens, it's the common story I have heard over and over. (not to be crass, but it's like the pipe needs to be primed.)

To be honest, it's probably the opposite. Your miscarriage rate is higher as you get older. But I've had two. One was indeed my first time getting pregnant. The second was two years after my first.

But I had a friend who's had two back to back after having her first, and another friend who had two in a row before her twins.

I think in general it's just a roll of shitty dice.

it is a crappy roll for sure

My cousins are 3 years apart in age & my uncle's wife had a miscarriage between the two. They were going for a 2 year age gap.

That must have been awful to experience that loss, and go on stage every night and have to pretend to go into labor.

Ah, it's just a big Vanity Fair cover story. Everything Anne.

[sockymous]

hence the many posts recently?

[therearewords]

I'd say.

We’ve had 4 posts from individual paragraphs from the same interview lol. To be fair that’s how everything is written about these days no one has the attention span for the entire profile anymore it seems

Although I agree that miscarriage (and let’s face it, women’s health issues in general) aren’t spoken about enough, I do find that people who haven’t experienced it don’t pay attention or see how often it IS spoken about and what information IS out there which is natural- most people don’t invest time in learning about things that don’t pertain to them.

[sarahvma]

I’d argue that’s true now but it’s quite recent.

I agree, but I've also noticed how weirdly candid people get about miscarriages. My friend had an ectopic pregnancy last year and had to have one of her tubes removed (which lowers her chances of getting pregnant naturally, as we know), and one of her friends (who's a mom btw) joked about how this was her 'test drive'. Like, you're making a joke about a dead child, ma'am. So while miscarriages are talked about it seems that, in a misguided attempt to normalize them, people often get comfortably cruel about the topic.

Wow, what an awful thing to say to someone who’s had a miscarriage, but especially if this person had a successful pregnancy and birth. That’s sick.
