A miscarriage is not your fault.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that a miscarriage could have been prevented or that the woman caused it to happen. This is not true! Most miscarriages happen because of things that are well beyond our control. We cannot control whether or not the cells divide properly or whether or not the egg implants properly onto the uterus.

These things are circumstantial and cannot be controlled. Many time women will read that taking a hot shower or eating cottage cheese in their first trimester will cause a miscarriage or that because they had intercourse this caused it. The truth of the matter is, miscarriages happen and there isn’t anything that can be done about it.

So please don’t blame yourself for this because dealing with the miscarriage is hard enough without blaming yourself for what happened. It is part of the life cycle and it is one of those times when you have to put your trust in the Lord and know that he knows best. He loves us and understands our pain but he also knows the big plan for us and for our families.
