HI Guys,
I really just wanted to say hello at this stage. My name is Jonathan, I'm 50 years old and, in the past, my wife experienced 4 miscarriages (one before our son was born and 3 before our daughter was born). I'm currently studying to become a counsellor and I found this site through reading a post on the Counselling Tutor Facebook Group.
While I have memories of the dark times of the miscarriages, they're a bit jumbled up now (the last was about 6 years ago). If I'm honest, I don't feel any trauma as a result of them and I just feel lucky that we have two healthy, happy children now. Really I'm here to offer support, if I can. I'll dip my toes into the forum posts very soon.
Best wishes
Thanks, Chris; that's really kind of you. Me and my wife are fortunate. Of course, the 4 miscarriages were traumatic, particularly for my wife, but we now have the 2 children we always wanted and if someone could wave a magic wand and change things so that the original pregnancies didn't fail, we wouldn't want that.
I'll talk more broadly about my experiences of the miscarriages soon, but I am aware how lucky I am, and I wish that same luck to everyone here.
Thanks for setting up the site; It's a wonderful thing that it's here.
