Help ! has any one miscarried around 7 months?

Question

My sister and I are both pregnant but she is 7 months and I'm only 5 weeks 3 days. My sister was just told to day the baby didn't make in and will need to deliver the baby naturally still .. I had an ectopic with tube removal and was heart broken .. what my sister is going through is so much worse but I need help on how to consult her. I don't want to make it worse .. any advise

Answer

This will be the worst day of her life. She's just gonna need someone to cry to or left alone in general. She may even push you away because the pain of watching your growing belly may hurt her too much. A still birth is a very traumatic experience for a women. Especially when the baby could have been born with a help after birth and possibly been fine but instead he/she died in utero. She will blame herself, prepare for the worst expect the best. I'm sorry for you family's loss and pain :(

Answer

My heart goes out to your sister. That's absolutely devastating. I've never had a miscarriage or stillbirth so I can't speak from experience, but I think the most important thing is to consider a stillbirth a true loss. She lost a child. Sometimes the best thing you say is nothing. Give her the time and space she needs to truly grieve her loss and never suggest that it was anything less than if she had lost a child later in life. She doesn't need to move on any faster or "get over it". She just needs to grieve at her own pace.

Answer

Sadly it happens more often then we want to think about and yes later on is so much worse then early on. It scares the shit outta me more then an early MC does.
