I need some more opinion's?

Question

I asked a question a few days ago about why people think that women are the only ones affected by a miscarriage. I know it affects women more, but lots of times people don't think it affects men. Do you think it affects women only? or, men and women both? why do you agree with it only affecting women, or both men and women?

Answer 1

does our opinion about this really matter. well since you asked i beleive in my case it would affect both. essentially you have lost a life whether you knew it or not is irrelevant, it was still a part of you. if the father is tuned in he will certainly be just as affected as the mother.

Answer 2

i had three miscarriages before this current pregnancy

i was depressed more than that but its very difficult to describe...anyways my husband often cried with me and at times we have talked about the losses we have had and he is very emotional about it just the same as i am....

this is a man who i have only see cry once before all this happened...but i think that it definatly involves a woman and the man both having been affected by the loss:(

Answer 3

It can effect both depending on how the partner looks at the pregnancy. A lot of men get involved from the start and others from the birth. A lot of men today are a lot more involved emotionally with pregnancies so it would effect men the same way as the woman.

So i would say yes of course it affects men

Answer 4

To expect a baby, even if is a second or third, is a big thing for anyone.  So, of course miscarriage affects both the man and the woman emotionally, but the woman usually more so.  She suffers in addition the physical consequences, often including a hospital procedure and hormonal changes.  The woman is also more likely to have to tell people who knew she was pregnant what has happened, raking over the emotions each time.  And finally, for the woman, there is often a sense of personal failure.  I'd say it typically affects women at least 4 times as much as it affects men even when they are very closely involved.

Answer 5

i definitely agree that effects both men and women. the woman is not the only one who lost a child. although the man was not carrying the child, it was still a part of them; their creation. miscarriages upset everyone-including extended family and friends as well. it is a horrible thing to have to go through, and i feel for anyone who has gone through this. stay strong, and keep God in your heart!
