Went to the midwives yesterday

Wife is pregnant, and this was the first visit, we get to see the ultrasound and first 8 week checkup.

We were hoping for twins, because they're common in both our families, and turns out, we did have twins.

one baby is at 8 weeks 5 days, the other one the nurse said got to probably 7 weeks and for some reason or another, stopped growing, and has no heartbeat. We can see one has a strong heartbeat and she said is growing very strong, but the other, as she put it, 'just stopped' and will be likely pushed aside.

We were both extremely sad over this. It hit really hard, even though we have one baby on the way, it was just like looking at two almost same size fetus side by side, one living, one not, and just all the possibilities of who this kid could have been.

It was just like, "a clump of cells" but it was more than that for us.

anyway, another White baby making it's way into the world. It's just bittersweet, almost was two.

This is why natural twins are so rare.

Am very sorry to hear. Best wishes to you, your wife, and your child.

I hope you have many more.

You have a lot of joy coming your way. I hope you can manage to focus on that.

I would avoid the ultrasounds and any other medical interventions. Hopefully you're also growing a garden and eating plenty of natural stuff out of your own yard. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Congratulations! And good luck!

we always buy local, but we have too many dipshit voles and shit around to grow anything. I have had a tough enough time keeping the grass growing, let alone vegetables.

with our first one, we only did the 8 week and 30 something week ultrasounds and that's all. We didn't want to know the gender or do any genetic tests either.

Piss in their little burrow holes. It works. Trust me.

I’m sorry for your loss and hope your baby is born healthy.

My brother and his wife lost twins recently. One died in the womb at 10 weeks and the other shortly after birth.

holy shit that is so sad, I felt that in my chest right now. We are pretty terrified of this scenario. The nurse told us we have nothing to worry about, but no one knows the future.

Sympathies and congratulations. Give your wife some extra care and loving while she deals with this.

Good choice of midwife over the whole 'hospital birth' horror.

Sucks that you lost one but glad the other is healthy. Good luck to you and your wife and future kid!

I lost three, anon. My son was my wife's second pregnancy. He was doomed to be the only son to carry my father's name. God gave me the courage to persevere, and thanks to Him, now he has two younger brothers to share this burden. Dont give up. Your child has two guardian angels watching him from above.

So sorry for your loss. Our first was a miscarriage. The wife was devastated. Men only become Fathers when they hold the baby in their hands. Women become Mothers at conception. I hate to give advice cause I'm the last to take it but... maybe love your dear Wife extra hard right now. She just lost a child. Best of luck to you and your beautiful White Family. Good job Sir!

thanks man. last week was about when we lost the one, and it was around 10pm, she went to the bathroom to vomit and was shaking and crying, saying something is wrong. She knew her body, and that was probably when it happened. She's feeling better now, but still lots of nausea, she said far more than the first time.
