That’s the problem.

People should care. It’s a hard loss to take for most people.

Yes, there are some people who say they didn’t feel any sadnesss, but that’s a low percentage. Most people feel sadness. Some feel that sadness even decades later after having subsequent successful pregnancies.

Her whole Are you OK line is so stupid. She's raising awareness for what, checking in on others during challenging times? Um, this has been a mainstream sentiment since the spring. Is she really trying to portray herself as some kind of kindness activist? Like she just thought of compassion while sitting in her mansion in California and is rallying everyone around it. She's a piece of work.

And I’m very sorry for her loss. Miscarriage is so hard. I also know the pain of marrying and starting a family later in life and wondering if it’s too late. It’s really tough.

But wow that op-ed bothered me. It just felt so tone-deaf and unaware. There is so much loss and grief in the world right now. Had she posted this to her social media or a general interest outlet, I don’t think I would have reacted this way. But while miscarriage is something we should talk about, it’s not news and it’s not a social problem to solve. It just is. There’s no public policy related to MC that needs to be promoted, no money that needs to be raised to prevent or address MC. They just happen.

It is weird to me that MM had an opportunity to write an op-ed in the NYT, a privilege few are afforded, and she chose to talk about a private grief about which nothing much can be done. And she did it in the middle of a public health emergency and at a time when black maternal mortality is a huge problem in the US.

Tone-deaf.

It would be like if I wrote a NYT op-ed this week on losing my uncle to cancer earlier this year and kind of loosely tied it to the pandemic. I’m sure people would feel bad for my grief but... what would be the point? My uncle didn’t die of Covid and making that link feels opportunistic at best. His death was and is painful and sad for our family. But many people have lost loved ones this year. It would be such a weird choice to highlight my grief as though it somehow encompasses and reflects everyone else’s. It doesn’t. It’s just mine.

People are still allowed to grieve —even publicly—losses that are not due to Covid. John Lewis and RBQ. We grieved as a nation.

Are you comparing an early MC to the nation losing John Lewis and RBG? Oy vey.

Well just a few months back, this thread was speculating on whether she was pregnant and when she would announce. Make up your mind people.

A family member lost a child this month- the pain of that is nothing compared to a miscarriage. I don’t appreciate that language at all.

+1 An early miscarriage is sad but not the same. I know very few women with kids who haven't had one, and I don't believe there is a stigma about it. Some wanted to discuss it and some didn't, but that had to do with temperament not stigma. That said, after the first trimester is very tough, and Chrissy Teigen lost a child not a fetus.

I agree. I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks and yes, it was very sad, but I'm irritated by everyone comparing her loss to Chrissy Tiegen, who had a stillbirth, and held her baby in her arms.

Go read that horribleDCUM thread. The DCUM hyenas were just vicious. They find fault with everyone. There are so many miserable people who visit this site.

You have no idea whether someone’s early miscarriage was their last chance to have a biological child. People have a right to mourn non-Covid deaths.

Exactly! We don’t know the details of the miscarriage! We don’t know what happened to her body during the process of the miscarriage. People are just mean.

She can mourn her loss.

But the world doesn’t need to mourn the loss. It’s not the same as the nation mourning for John Lewis and RBG FFS.

The same Netflix that produces The Crown based on Harry's family members, living and dead. The show that puts his mother's struggles onscreen for entertainment value after he and his brother have spent years condemning the sensationalism and exploitation of her. The mother Harry said was pursued so mercilessly that he had NO OPTION but to leave public life for the health and safety of his wife.

Yeah, that Netflix.

This is going to be unpopular, but I don’t think she actually even knew she was pregnant. I think it was so early on in the pregnancy that she wasn’t even aware of the fact. And it wasn’t until the “sharp pain” and subsequent hospital visit that she discovered that she had been pregnant. Had she been pregnant for more than four weeks or so she absolutely would’ve said but that was conveniently left out because it would lessen the sympathy. And I think the entire story surrounding the matter was made up.
