My wife and I are in the same boat, 1 ectopic, 3 miscarriages and we're about to give up having kids. I don't know how many more miscarriages we can take. It's not failing to get pregnant, but watching my wife blaming herself and her body for the miscarriages that kill me... I'd rather have a happy and healthy wife than a baby. She's more important to me than continuing our family lineage
EDIT: yes, adopting is an option but not right now. I want to focus on my wife’s mental and physical well being and consider other options down the line. We may end up not adopting because we find happiness in each other’s company just fine
EDIT 2: i do tell her that none of this is her fault because it isnt, nor mine. I like to think these 4 potential children werent meant to be
My wife and I just had our first baby this afternoon. My daughter wasn’t breathing when she was born. The umbilical cord got wrapped around her neck during labor. She is in the NICU right now fighting to survive. On top of that my wife’s labor was extremely difficult. I thought I was going to lose her a few times during the birth. One of the toughest days of my life.
At the same time seeing this picture made me smile an cry. I’m so happy for you, and I wish you and your family nothing but blessings.

I’ve had two miscarriages and one baby boy who didn’t come home from the hospital. I hope to one day hold a little one of my own in my home. Wishing the best of luck and love for your and yours.
