I know that not many people talk about the loss of a pregnancy. Sometimes it's just too difficult or painful to talk about. Sometimes there's superstitions that you don't want to say anything because you might jinx it. Other times you don't want to say anything because you don't want to worry soon-to-be parents. I also think that part of it is because of grieving and guilt. It's become one of those things that you just don't talk about.
But talking and sharing can help with healing. Just like it's good to talk about your birthing and breastfeeding stories, it's healthy to talk about your unfortunate loss stories too. You help yourself by acknowledging that it happened. You help yourself by not holding it in. You can also help others by letting them know that they are not alone.
