Pregnancy LossesPosted by Rachel on February 1st, 2007
A few days after I found out that I miscarried, one of my friends found out that she lost her baby, too. She had conceived twins, and miscarried the first twin early on, and was hoping the second would hold on, but it didn’t. The pain of a miscarriage was still very fresh in my mind, so I actually cried when I heard her news. Just today, I found out that another friend of mine has lost her baby at 10 weeks. All three of us conceived around the same time. The woman who conceived twins actually tested on the same day as me. We were all pregnancy buddies. I just feel so sad that this happens, and I don’t understand why it’s happened to all three of us. God knows what He’s doing, but I don’t really understand it. Please pray for all the mothers who have lost their unborn babies. I don’t think the pain ever disappears completely.

I read your blog regularly, and I love reading about your family and your closeness to God. I just wanted to say that I’m one of six kids, and we’re all three years apart except for the fourth and fifth, who are five years apart. Between them was a baby my Mom miscarried. It was a really hard time for her and my Dad. Anyways, at the same time that happened, two of my Mom’s cousins miscarried as well. I think, despite the grief that is caused by such a thing happening, God designed it in a way that the three of them could comfort one another, even though none knew the other was pregnant until after their miscarriages. I pray God will give you all peace and find the words to comfort one another as you share a common thread but also a uniquely -experienced grief.
