Having lived this thread, can emphasise it's weird how everyone is always so quiet about miscarriage. The soft word belies how dark it is.https://twitter.com/glitter_brawl/status/887246009042161664 …

I'm a rainbow baby, and this year we've already had two miscarriages in the family that were talked about very openly.
Always just figured that was normal for everyone, since there's a reason you don't really tell a lot of people before week 12?

Yeah, but so many (especially British) people don't talk about it publicly. Pain is private. Don't buy it myself, think we should be aware

Why don't we talk about it before week 12? It means people either stay silent, or have to say "BTW I was pregnant then I lost it."
-
We don't talk about it before week 12 because babies die A LOT before week 12. Like, a ton, really. And I believe to some it would be more >

of a nuisance to go around telling everyone they lost their baby. Because you get so much fake pity left and right that's just not helping >

but making the eventual pain so much worse.

Yeah, I do get that. Maybe it's a failure of society that we can't view pre-12 weeks as a "maybe" thing, for ourselves and others.
-
It just frustrates me when I see those who'd love to talk about it sat with others who feel the same, but no-one knows because secrets?
-
I'm not even sure if it's (only) secrets. Can't imagine a lot of conversations that would get to the point of "Yeah I had a dead baby"?
-
And it doesn't seem like that great of a conversation starter.
