Depending on the woman, this will either help, or shatter them.

The actual odds are around 50% self abort. Mostly within the first month. 10-20% happen between 1 and 3 months. Critically, almost none of the risk is down to the mother. It just happens.

I couldn't get the fear out of my wife's mind on this. All I could do was quantify it, and lay the groundwork that it wasn't her fault if the pregnancy failed.

When I had a colleague who had 3 heartbreaks, and she was expecting her 4th we treated her with proper kid gloves, no carrying, no stress. It felt like a team effort.

I hope she had a happy, healthy baby and that she and the baby are doing well. I'm not normally a fan of euphemisms, but calling a miscarriage a heartbreak is fitting.

She did, she has a caring, successful husband and is glowing in life now.

That's very good to hear.
