I have spent some time reading in the book "Supernatual Childbirth". In this book Jackie Mize does a great job explaining what it feels like to have a miscarriage. Here is an excerpt from her book.
" Even though I was only a few weeks pregnant, that baby was just as real to me as any baby I had ever seen. Any woman who has been pregnant knows what I'm talking about too. Many times men don't understand the trauma of a miscarriage because to them the baby is not a reality yet. They often try to comfort their wife with, " Its ok, we will try again." And that dosn't comfort us, because to a woman that baby is a reality from conception. It affects mothers because it is not just a "miscarriage"; It is the loss of a child. And it takes a period of time to recover emotionally, just as it does with the loss of any loved one. "
We are a deeply committed couple in our 30's, and the parents of five precious children on a radical journey to get out of debt, build our faith, our family and our home on 11 1/2 acres of land in the hills of beautiful, Southwest Virginia. Our desire is to use our lives and our resources to encourage others. Sometimes the journey is incredible, sometimes it seems impossible. Here you can read about both because such is life...

Hey y'all. I too am disappointed about the miscarriage. I'm so sorry about it, but I'm sure God has a good reason for everything. I heard that miscarriages are a lot more common for women who have already had atleast 3 kids. Just be ready, because if you want to have a lot of kids you can expect a few miscarriages along the way, althought I pray this is the last one. Just stay strong.
