Losing a child is devastating. However, with her previous difficulties it probably isn't THAT surprising.

This makes me so sad. While I may not agree with their choices, I wouldn't wish a late term m/c on my worst enemies.

Ditto all this. I was sad when I read they were thinking of names so they can bury it with one.

I saw some of those too. What kind of people post "That's what she gets. should have listened to the warnings to stop with her last kid."

I know what kind of people. The kind of people I've just deleted off of FB. Sick.

mehgank · December 2011

Yes, I've heard about this. It's so sad. Some of the stuff people are saying online are downright cruel.

And I concur with PPs, I may not agree with their family choices, I wouldn't wish a late-term miscarriage on anyone.

pirategal03 · December 2011

I had actually just read about this before coming here. It's pretty awful. I can't imagine announcing a pregnancy to the world like that and then having to say you miscarried. I can't help but wonder if they're filming the show through all of this.

DeadUtopia · December 2011

I feel for her but her doctors told her that she would most likely never be able to carry a pregnancy past the second trimester after Josie. I do wish for her own sake that she stops trying to have more children, not because I'm being all judgy, but because she is incapable of having another full term baby and she is hurting herself.

This. People are being such assholes about it. People even were saying stuff about itwhen she first announced she was pregnant. So many people predicted it would have complications. "I told you so" and "miscarriage" should NEVER be in the same sentence regardless of te situations. They don't need to be sneered at. They need to be supported through this rough time.

lbarr088 · December 2011

I agree with all of this. I also realize my statement of that 'it might not be that surprising' probably wasn't the best way to phrase it. I meant more along the lines of once you start getting older and have complications, they are more likely to occur (clarification so I don't get flamed at some point.. at least for this anyways

).

Also, I wish people would stop joking about it. It's not funny. Its terribly traumatic for the family. I was "supposed" to have 2 sisters. It's incredibly sad.

DNAtime · December 2011

That is so sad. And for it to be so public..... people who make rude comments about are just not cool. She is still a human being.

achiduck · December 2011

It is very sad. While I don't agree with thier view on having children I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

I do hope though, that they'll stop trying to get pregnant. It's likely that they'll end up with the same result and I wouldn't want their family to have to keep going through the pain of losing babies.

lbarr088 · December 2011

Achi- This was actually her 2nd miscarriage so I doubt they will discontinue having kids. They claim that they will leave the number of kids they have up to God.

katiewhompus · December 2011

That poor family

Having a miscarriage may have nothing to do with your ability to conceive future, healthy children. Michelle had a miscarriage before child number 1 and obviously had many a healthy pregnancy after that.

ETA miscarried after child 1

Oh, look. Our first "told you so" in this post. Just when I thought the thread wouldn't take a turn for assholeishness.

It's not an "I told you so." It's a hope that they won't have to keep going through the same pain.

They won't use birth control and they leave it up to thier god to decide. This means that they would have to stop having sex completely to ensure that they never become pregnant again.

It's a (thinly) veiled, "I told you so." Nice try.

<div>This view came up during a thread when she had just announced her pregnancy. People would like to see them stop but it's not our decision what she does with her body and whether or not they want to subject their family to this again. Their whole belief (Quiverfull Christians) is that they are to be obedient to however many children God allows them, and with no birth control and a very fertile couple, then wham bam, you have 30000 kids. </div><div>
</div><div>I have to say that I am strangely in awe by her and her family. They accept everything as God's will and that's that. </div>

Exactly this! Nobody deserves to have to go through that. I feel for her regardless of how many children she already has. She connected with that feeling of carrying a child and it is a horrible feeling to lose one.
