My daughter has severe separation anxiety in most situations. She is 4 years old. I had a miscarriage when I was quite a bit younger, it was a late miscarriage (4 months) and it was emotionally and physically draining. I lost my first daughter in infancy, which was devastating, I got pregnant a little over a year after losing my daughter and miscarried early. My husband and I divorced. I remarried, and had my daughter. She was born 8 years after my last loss. There seems to be no other explanation for her extreme separation anxiety.

There are studies documenting fathers struggles with postpartum depression.Claudia M.

Both men still feel the pain of the loss, even after the birth of subsequent children. I wonder if studies consider the effect of pregnancy loss on fathers.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003789142611233324noreply@blogger.com
